Full Description
The
latest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series, Innovative Teaching and Learning Practices in Higher Education introduces
the reader to a number of inspiring transformative educational practices. It
explores in depth what has motivated these teachers to transform their
teaching, how they went about doing it, and what the results were for their
students in terms of learning and engagement. The innovative practices in the book centre
around three types of innovations:
·
Technology-based
·
Simulation-based
·
Practice-based
Innovative Teaching and Learning Practices in Higher
Education takes a pedagogical, procedural, and practical
approach to the development of innovative teaching and learning practices. The
authors, who are university teachers themselves, focus on encouraging,
empowering and enabling fellow teachers to develop, design, and implement new
and innovative teaching and learning practices for the improvement of student
engagement and student learning.
The book describes teaching and learning innovations in terms of the
complex links between teaching practices and underlying theories and
philosophies of learning. Showcasing innovative practices from across different
fields of science, the book is cross-disciplinary and inclusive.
