Challenging Values and Practice
Redaktion: Kerry, Trevor

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Trevor Kerry draws together contributions from leading academics in the field based in Europe, Canada and Australia to examine key themes in higher education, including:

. academic freedom

. leadership and management

. the nature of learning and teaching

. ethical behaviour

. curriculum innovation

. attitudes to globalization and internationalization

The contributors explore what might constitute effective higher education provision, drawing on innovative practice from around the world and encouraging higher education practitioners to become more analytical and critical about their institutions, about their own roles, and about the ways in which they and their work serve their client-base. In so doing the book confronts the contextual conflicts that arise from political, social and fiscal agendas for higher education.
