Recenzii
"This book makes a very valuable contribution to extending people's understanding of the concept of teaching excellence in higher education. I warmly recommend it to anyone who is in the least bit interested in thinking seriously about this important topic."
Professor Roger Murphy Director, Institute for Research into Learning and Teaching, University of Nottingham.
'What, if anything, does 'teaching excellence' mean? Alan Skelton challenges common sense notions of excellence, but rejects the view that we should simply ignore it and hope it will go away. Instead he opens up a much needed and more sustained critique. The book draws upon research from a wide range of contributors who really care about the ways in which the changing context of higher education is shaping our understanding of teaching and learning. Through their writing ideas of excellence in teaching are given substance which is founded upon educational insight rather than bureacratic rhetoric'
Professor Stephen Rowland, Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching, UCL
