Pedagogy in Higher Education provides a critical context for the exploration of the complex ways that pedagogy impacts the stakeholders of universities, and their interrelationships. The authors in this collection present a critique of the way they meet the challenge of engaging learners, across all levels of learning, in developing critical dispositions within their discipline while seeking the skills and knowledge required for them to flourish in a modern workforce. Creative, digital technologies feature in many of the narratives and authors question and probe their professional contexts to better understand and react to the multiple curricula, political and neoliberal tensions of modern universities.
Encouraging critical reflection and practice, each chapter highlights implications for practice. Covering a wide range of interdisciplinary topics, such as Law, Education, Teacher Education, and Digital Technologies, Pedagogy in Higher Education provides current thinking from cross-disciplinary and international perspectives to inform colleagues and students both nationally and internationally and aims to foster discussions across universities globally.
