Mitterle, Alexander; Würmann, Carsten; Bloch, Roland – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2015
The impact of higher education reforms on teaching at faculty level in Germany has seldom been explored. Research on teaching at university so far centres on how to teach.

Lucal, Betsy – Teaching Sociology, 2015

For example, earning a college degree has become ever more important for success; yet, because of declining state support for public education, students are taking on extraordinary levels of debt. As a…

Quinlan, Andrea; Fogel, Curtis A. – Higher Education Studies, 2014
In 1970, education theorist Paulo Freire (1970) sharply critiqued dominant pedagogy--or what he called the banking model of education--for stripping students of their agency. In the banking model, he wrote, instructors are empowered as narrating subjects as students who become alienated as passive listening objects. In the decades since, research…

Although this general trend is reflected in schools of…
