Description
Values in Higher Education Teaching explores the relationship between teaching, research, learning and higher education, revealing that values are essential to understanding the full purpose of these activities. By examining how values inform thinking and actions, this book argues that academics can transform their practices by putting values at the forefront of their work. The authors' original research draws on empirical data and theory to address the complex question of teaching values in higher education. The book delves into both philosophical and practical aspects of values, shedding light on what academics have valued historically and how these values have evolved over time. This book is a valuable resource for university lecturers, those with leadership and management responsibilities, and postgraduates studying for higher degrees. It provides a unique perspective on the role of values in shaping academic practices and offers insights into the current state of the higher education system.
