Despite the rapid development of TNHE over the past decade, research studies on students' perceptions and experiences of teaching and learning at TNHE programmes in China are very limited. Using both surveys (328) and follow-up interviews (40) from students at two Anglo-Sino programmes, this study explores students' perceptions and experiences of…

With the complexity and contradictions associated with conceptualizing learner-centered (LC) education, teachers need support to transform their teaching into LC. Teachers who are expected to teach using teacher-centered practices, like teachers in India, also need this support; however, little is known about these teachers' LC knowledge,…

By the beginning of 2020, there were widespread school closures caused by the spread of coronavirus for an unknown duration.
