Dall'Alba, Gloria; Barnacle, Robyn – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2005
In higher education, the conventional design of educational programs emphasises imparting knowledge and skills, in line with traditional Western epistemology.

Shavelson, Richard J.; Ruiz-Primo, Maria Araceli; Wiley, Edward W. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2005
As faculty, our goals for students are often tacit, hidden not only from students but from ourselves as well. We present a conceptual framework for considering teaching goals--what we want our students to achieve--that encourages us to think more broadly about what we mean by achieving in our knowledge domains. This framework includes declarative…

Street, Brian – LATISS: Learning and Teaching in the Social Sciences, 2004
The arrival of large numbers of "non-traditional" students in higher education has led to rethinking the idea of the university itself and of the role of writing within it. This paper contributes to that debate by considering student writing within a broader framework than that of simply study skills or academic socialization, as in dominant…

Much of the methodological literature currently influential in the education policy community has focused on research studies and assessments intended to support generalizable conclusions about "what works" or what students "know and can do." Until recently, far less attention has been paid to how educators actually interpret and use this…

Ball, Tamara; Wells, Gordon – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2006
Teaching a course entitled "Introduction to Theories of Education" requires that one practice what one is preaching.
