Higher education is a particularly complex site for enhancement
initiatives. This book offers those involved in change a coherent
conceptual overview of enhancement approaches, of the change
context, and of the probable interactions between them.
The book sets enhancement within a particular type of change
dynamic which focuses on social practices. The aim is to base
innovation and change on the probabilities of desired outcomes
materializing, rather than on the romanticism of policies that
underestimate the sheer difficulty of making a difference.
Following a theoretical introduction to these ideas, there are case
studies (from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and
Norway) at the national, institutional, departmental and individual
levels, illustrating the argument that enhancement is best achieved
when it works with social practices in real institutional and
organizational settings.
In a final section, the authors link the case examples and
theoretical frameworks, inviting readers to consider their own
enhancement situations and apply the 'frameworks for action'
offered in earlier sections of the book. The book doesn't offer
quick-fix solutions but aims to support change with practical
examples, conceptual tools and reflexive questions for those
involved in change at all levels. It is key reading for higher
education lecturers, managers, educational developers and policy
makers.
