| Abstract | "This book is about university teaching. It provides practical advice and develops new theory to help university teachers who wish to develop their work through scholarly enquiry. In doing so, it informs policy and management around both teaching and curriculum. In order to accomplish these objectives, eight challenges currently encountered by those who teach in higher education are carefully examined. These include: teaching to meet all students' needs; assessment and grading; learning to teach; and space and time in academic life. The research that underpins this work came from an international study and a conceptual re-evaluation of current practices, theories and the values of teaching and higher education. This book provides practical advice and develops new theory to offer university educators a realistic approach for dealing with challenges they face in daily practice. The book does this by examining eight common challenges in university teaching including, teaching to meet all students' needs; assessment and grading; learning to teach; and space and time in academic life. Drawing on an international study and a conceptual re-evaluation of current practices and theories, this book will appeal to university teachers who wish to develop their work through scholarly enquiry and will be a resource to inform policy and management around teaching and curriculum"-- Provided by publisher. |
