A Handbook for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
- Share to:
This book starts from the premise that the roles of those who teach in higher education are complex and multifaceted. Teaching is recognised as being only one of the roles that readers of this book will be undertaking. It recognises and acknowledges that academics have contractual obligations to pursue excellence in several directions, most notably in teaching, research and scholarship, supervision, academic administration and management and, for many, maintenance of standing and provision of service in a profession (such as teaching or nursing). Academic practice is a term that encompasses all these facets. The focus of this book is on teaching and the supervision of students. The purpose of both of these activities, and all that is associated with them (for example, curriculum organisation and assessment), is to facilitate learning, but as our focus is on what the teacher/supervisor does to contribute to this, we have stressed the role of the teacher in both the title and the text of this handbook. However, effective teaching (and supervision, assessment, planning and so on) has to be predicated on an understanding of how students learn; the objective of the activities is to bring about learning, and there has to be insight and knowledge about learners’ needs for teaching to be successful.
