The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: An Evidence-Based Perspective (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Perry, Raymond P.; Smart, John C.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together pre-eminent scholars to critically assess teaching and learning issues that cut across most disciplines. In addressing long-standing and newly emerging issues, the researchers examine the scientific evidence on what constitutes effective teaching in college classrooms, on the psychometric integrity of measures of teaching effectiveness, and on the use of such measures for tenure, promotion, and salary decisions. The book systematically explores the avowed linkage between classroom teaching and motivation, learning, and performance outcomes in students. In so doing, it deals with the nexus between knowledge production by researchers and knowledge utility for end-users made up of classroom instructors, department heads, deans, directors, and policymakers.
