FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

The introduction of the Teaching Excellence Framework heralds an era of unprecedented scrutiny and focus on the quality of teaching in universities in England. This book offers inter-disciplinary, evidence-informed discussion around notions of excellence in higher education teaching. It will act as a key stimulus for institutional and sector-wide debates and a reference point for initiatives around the TEF agenda. Drawing on the authentic, grounded experiences of practising HE professionals and complemented by a range of recent case studies, this book offers insight into the pursuit of capturing excellence in the complex and wide-ranging context of HE teaching. It will consider what the repercussions of TEF might mean to those involved in learning and teaching in the sector and how this might impact institutional policy and practice.

Review

Concise, well written and thought provoking... The book helps us to understand the TEF by placing it within the social, political, and historical contexts in which it developed. It frames an excellent discussion of some of the key literature around teaching excellence and importantly suggests meaningful ways in which teaching can be developed. -- Alex Patel * Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education *

Review Quote

Education scholars from the UK present six chapters aimed at providing an interdisciplinary, evidence-based perspective on high-quality teaching in higher education institutions in England and the factors involved and impacts on learners and teaching, as well as institutional policy and practice. They discuss the policy context and the new Teaching Excellence Framework; how teaching excellence has been understood in the past, why it might be a problematic concept, and an alternative way of understanding the nature and development of teaching based on a more emergent and collaborative view; monitoring and measuring teaching excellence; and developing and supporting it.
