Teaching for Quality Learning at University: What the Student Does

Front Cover
Society for Research into Higher Education, 1999 - Assessing for learning quality - 250 pages
Since the first edition of Teaching for Quality Learning at University, the tertiary sector has changed dramatically. Individual teachers, as reflective practitioners, still need to make their own decisions about how they are going to get students actively involved in large classes, to teach international students, and to assess in ways that enhance the quality of learning. But now that quality assurance and quality enhancement are required at the institutional level, the concept of constructive alignment is applied to the reflective institution, where it becomes a powerful underpinning to quality enhancement procedures.
