This practical and authoritative handbook provides a comprehensive
overview of the issues and approaches to assuring quality in
university teaching. Including contributions from major
international figures, the book contains a wealth of ideas and
practical advice to help universities commit to quality in teaching
and offers insights into how the topics raised can be directly
applied. The book initially identifies some of the key issues
surrounding the topic, such as the evidence-based identification of
teaching quality; the training of university lecturers and faculty;
external and internal quality assurance; the tension between
professional autonomy and governmental regulation; and the
involvement of students in developing quality. It then moves on to
present ideas and initiatives to address these problems, tackling
the subject through four sections: Assuring Quality - questioning
what quality assurance means and how it might be practised;
Identifying Quality - examining what knowledge exists at present
and how it might be further researched; Developing Quality -
investigating the development of staff through teacher training and
appraisal; Case Studies of Quality Assurance - reviewing six case
studies of quality assurance in a range of contrasting subjects
including the professional subjects of Medicine, Nursing and
Teacher Training which are also addressed systemically in the first
section. Full of practical advice, Handbook of Quality Assurance
for University Teaching is an invaluable and unique resource for
Faculty, Subject Leaders, University Administrators and Quality
Assessors.
