Understanding Teaching Excellence in Higher Education Summary

Understanding Teaching Excellence in Higher Education: Towards a Critical Approach by Alan Skelton (University of Sheffield, UK)

What makes a university teacher 'excellent'? As debates rage about whether this is down to subject knowledge, communication skills, taking a research-led approach or being a technological whiz, this book provides the first in-depth examination of teaching excellence in higher education. Identifying and examining interpretations of teaching excellence, it considers what 'excellent' means and implies for practice.

Understanding Teaching Excellence in Higher Education Reviews

'Skelton writes with an engaging critical zeal, and his book will certainly help many talented, competent, and hardworking teachers in higher education in UK to understand why, and how, a few members of their profession become mysteriously singled out for recognition and reward as "excellent", whilst they themselves do not.'

'Here we have a bold and original book that cruelly exposes some of the myth-making mechanisms that politicians and their handservants have clumsily sought to impose upon contemporary HE. Extremely well written and a model of clear organisation.'

- British Journal of Educational Technology Vol 38 No 1 2007
