This book offers a range of approaches and specific examples of
how a sample of internationally leading research-intensive
universities, from a variety of regions around the world, work
to improve teaching and learning. It describes and analyzes
broad university initiatives and approaches that have the
potential of driving institution-wide change processes in
teaching and learning, thus providing a link between strategic
ambitions and cultural transformation in the universities.
Globally, research-intensive universities are increasingly
pressured to increase their performance in both research and
education. However, while much focus internationally has been
devoted to how universities are working to boost their research
performance, less is known about how internationally leading
universities are working to improve teaching and learning.
Through comparative cases drawn from universities in Europe,
Asia and the US, key practices and lessons are identified and
showcased providing a unique insight into the ways
internationally leading research universities work to support
and enhance staff engagement in teaching and learning. It will
be essential reading for researchers and advanced students
working in Higher Education and Sociology, particularly those
with an interest in comparative studies.
