Why is it important?
This paper critically interrogates, challenges and resists some of the dominant conceptualisations and practices associated with improving teaching and learning enshrined in current higher education policy, with a particular focus on the United Kingdom. In doing so, it offers a reimagined, alternative perspective driven by professional responsibility rather than managerialist accountability. It is of importance and relevance to anyone who is interested in the scholarship of learning and teaching in higher education.
Perspectives
This paper is rigorous in its discussion and analysis of recent higher education policy relating to teaching excellence, as well as the theoretical framework underpinning the paper. The paper’s focus is timely and original in its contribution to the field of learning and teaching in higher education.
