Improving Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: A Whole Institution Approach Zusammenfassung

Improving Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: A Whole Institution Approach Vaneeta D'Andrea

What are the aims of higher education?
What are the strategies necessary for institutional improvement?
How might the student experience be improved?

The emergence of the discourse around learning and teaching is one of the more remarkable phenomena of the last decade in higher education. Increasingly, universities are being required to pay greater attention to improving teaching and enhancing student learning. This book will help universities and colleges achieve these goals through an approach to institutional change that is well founded on both research and practical experience.

By placing learning at the centre of organizational change, this book challenges many of the current assumptions about management of teaching, supporting students, the separation of research and teaching, the use of information technology and quality systems. It demonstrates how trust can be restored within higher education while advancing the need for change based on principles of equity and academic values for students and teachers alike.

Improving Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is key reading for anyone interested in the development of teaching and learning in higher education, as well as policy makers.
