Values in Higher Education Teaching explores the way in which
teaching, research, learning and higher education are a values
enterprise and that an exploration of values is necessary to work
out the full purposes of a higher education to guide practices and
help academics understand academic work. Values inform thinking and
actions and although this is well recognized, values are seldom
brought to the forefront of inquiries as practices in higher
education are developed. This book argues that by putting values
firmly on the agenda of those who teach, work and learn in higher
education the academic profession can open up new spaces for value
conversations and potentially transform the way in which they
practice. Values in Higher Education Teaching is key reading for
university lecturers, those with responsibility for leadership and
management of higher education and postgraduates studying for
higher degrees in higher education. There are few books that
directly address the broad and complex question of values in
teaching in higher education yet at the same time values are widely
recognised as permeating all our practices. In this sense an
accepted part of academic life remains in the realm of 'taken for
granted' rather than being consciously and explicitly explored and
practiced. The book deals with the idea of values in both a
philosophical and practical manner. It is based on original
research and uses both empirical data and theory to address
teaching values in higher education and the current values of the
higher education system. It explores what academics have valued
historically in teaching and also addresses the major reforms of
the last 20 years. Reforms have essentially changed the nature of
western higher education but have made little real difference to
the outcomes for student learning and society whereas teaching with
values in all subjects has the potential to radically alter student
experiences.
