Book Description
The title of this book has two meanings. One meaning expresses a sense of relief that during the last several years post-secondary institutions have begun to pay serious attention to the enhancement of instruction on their campuses. There has been an emergence of new organisations, associations, conferences, seminars, and workshops; a proliferation of books, journals, and articles; an expansion of research and investigative inquiry; and a growth of interest among post-secondary faculty-members and administrators -- all of which are devoted to various aspects of the improvement of both teaching and learning at the undergraduate level. These initiatives have combined to furnish undeniable evidence attesting to the pursuit of better teaching and learning in higher education. Increasing numbers of post-secondary educators, students, and tax payers at large not only welcome wholeheartedly this new emphasis, and -- as suggested by the last clause in the title -- they feel it has been long overdue! A second interpretation of the title -- and the one which is a key theme of this book -- emphasises the substantive concept of the use and management of time (and timing) as an integral component of effective instruction. (From the Introduction).

Pages : 364
Book Description
ABSTRACT: A mixed-method study was designed to examine the characteristics a new teacher in higher education exhibited that align with thebenchmarks for instructional effectiveness in higher education. The participants for the study were nine new teachers in highereducation (N = 9) instructing a three-credit course for 15 weeks. Qualitative information was collected through self-reflection journals.Quantitative information was collected from three videotaped observations coded with two systematic observation instruments (QDITCand BAT). Quantitative data was also collected from the student evaluations (SIR-II). Results indicated five key findings on instructionaleffectiveness. First, instructional effectiveness was demonstrated more from a teacher who was both trained and experienced. Second, the impact of teaching experience on instructional effectiveness was shown through prior experiences in meeting the benchmarks forlearning. Third, ineffective teaching resulted from unclear roles as a faculty member and the lack of understanding for instructionaleffectiveness in higher education. Fourth, a comprehensive evaluation program of instructional effectiveness was important toevaluate teachers in higher education from mUltiple perspectives. Finally, induction assistance program, teacher centers, or the abilityto develop a mentoring relationship for new teachers in higher education is needed to promote instructional effectiveness in the earlyyears of teaching.

Pursuing Teaching Excellence in Higher Education
Author: Margaret Wood
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350055298
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Teaching excellence is a topic of international significance, having importance for higher education worldwide, yet is generally considered to be poorly defined and understood. The current discourse of teaching excellence is narrowly framed, instrumental and performative, with an onus on measurement and quantification. Wood and Su investigate and rethink excellence in higher education, connecting this to the understanding of the role and purpose of higher education. Stakeholder perspectives on teaching excellence are explored, and the authors argue that it is through engaging with higher education constituencies, to examine teaching excellence from different angles and stances, that more inclusive understandings may be built. These stakeholder perspectives, which form the central chapters of the book, include higher education institutions, academics, students, employers and parents. The importance of a commitment to engaging with understandings situated in the diverse experiences and contexts of stakeholders for an 'inclusive perspective' on teaching excellence is affirmed. At the close of the book, the Coda examines some of the implications of the responses to the COVID-19 global pandemic for inclusive perspectives on teaching excellence in higher education.

Optimizing Higher Education Learning Through Activities and Assessments
Author: Inoue-Smith, Yukiko
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799840379
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
The mission of higher education in the 21st century must focus on optimizing learning for all students. In a shift from prioritizing effective teaching to active learning, it is understood that computer-enhanced environments provide a variety of ways to reach a wide range of learners who have differing backgrounds, ages, learning needs, and expectations. Integrating technology into teaching assumes greater importance to improve the learning experience. Optimizing Higher Education Learning Through Activities and Assessments is a collection of innovative research that explores the link between effective course design and student engagement and optimizes learning and assessments in technology-enhanced environments and among diverse student populations. Its focus is on providing an understanding of the essential link between practices for effective “activities” and strategies for effective “assessments,” as well as providing examples of course designs aligned with assessments, positioning college educators both as leaders and followers in the cycle of lifelong learning. While highlighting a broad range of topics including collaborative teaching, active learning, and flipped classroom methods, this book is ideally designed for educators, curriculum developers, instructional designers, administrators, researchers, academicians, and students.
