Teaching, Language & Reference
Postgraduate Education: Form and Function
A Learning in Higher Education anthology
by Claus Nygaard, Nigel Courtney and Liezel Frick
Description
This book is a response to concerns that policies and practices of higher education have tended to draw too much attention towards academic content and to teaching as a core discipline. Yet literature suggests that students are often ill-prepared for the changes in learning, teaching and curriculum approaches from the undergraduate to postgraduate levels. While the dominant belief appears to be that students learn when teachers transfer knowledge to them, the students themselves expect to function more independently in postgraduate education. This anthology presents an alternative view, moving from a discipline-based view to a learning-based view on higher education. The anthology will be essential reading for all those who work with quality issues in higher education. Working with quality enhancement is the art of positively matching multiple stakeholder relations and at the same time continuously innovating within existing good practice. The chapter authors reflect upon proposed strategies for managing stakeholder relations.
