What does higher education learning and teaching enable students to
do and to become? Which human capabilities are valued in higher
education, and how do we identify them? How might the human
capability approach lead to improved student learning, as well as
to accomplished and ethical university teaching? This book sets out
to generate new ways of reflecting ethically about the purposes and
values of contemporary higher education in relation to agency,
learning, public values and democratic life, and the pedagogies
which support these. It offers an alternative to human capital
theory and emphasises the intrinsic as well as the economic value
of higher learning. Based upon the human capability approach,
developed by economist Amartya Sen and philosopher Martha Nussbaum,
the book shows the importance of justice as a value in higher
education. It places freedom, human flourishing, and students'
educational development at its centre. Furthermore, it takes up the
value Sen attributes to education in the capability approach, and
demonstrates its relevance for higher education. Higher Education
Pedagogies offers illustrative narratives of capability, learning
and pedagogy, drawing on student and lecturer voices to demonstrate
how this multi-dimensional approach can be developed and applied in
higher education. It suggests an ethical approach to higher
education practice, and to teaching and learning policy development
and evaluation. As such, the book is essential reading for students
and scholars of higher education, as well as university lecturers,
managers and policy-makers concerned with teaching and learning.
