University Teaching: An Introductory Guide is a vital tool for the
new lecturer that aims to encourage and support an inquiry into
university teaching and academic life. This book understands that
teaching is not discrete but one of many activities integrated in
academic work. It recognizes that teaching is directly affected by
administrative concerns such as timetabling and workload demands,
departmental culture, disciplinary research expectations and how we
think about the purposes and values of higher education. The new
lecturer must learn to adapt to and shape the circumstances of
their academic work. Understanding that teaching is an integral
part of this work, rather than a dislocated discipline, can help us
think about practice in new ways. Harland argues against the
teaching-research divide and popular opinion that 'teaching takes
time away from research'. He proffers the sentiment that all
aspects of academic practice need to be considered when inquiring
into learning how to teach, and that teaching is better understood
when it is firmly embedded and integrated in this work. Writing
from his experience extracted from a ten-year research project
working with early career staff, he addresses popular concerns of
academics, including: Lecturing Peer review of teaching Discussion
as an approach to teaching Research and the new academic The
subject and the idea of critical thinking This clearly written and
practical book will be ideal for all new lecturers in higher
education, and also more seasoned academics wishing to progress
their professional development. Tony Harland is Associate Professor
at the Higher Education Development Centre, University of Otago,
New Zealand
