Learning to Effect

by RonaldBarnett (Editor)

Synopsis

This text discusses contemporary issues of curriculum change in higher education, and examines various ideas and initiatives concerned with making student learnings more effective. It addresses curriculum purposes, curriculum delivery, and curriculum impact on the wider society. It considers the ways in which the higher education curriculum is changing in response to the wider society, how a higher quality of curriculum delivery might be achieved, and how the necessary institutional change might be effected. It covers, for instance, experiential learning, skills and training, competence and outcomes, assessment, student control over learning, the quality of teaching and learning, curriculum theory, and the institutional context. More generally, it explores ways in which teaching approaches and the curriculum in higher education can be designed so as to have a demonstrably positive effect on the quality of student learning.
