Add to basketThis book addresses key spheres of teaching and learning in higher education from the dual vantage points of educators in the UK and China. It covers a wide range of teaching topics, methods, and approaches used within and useful for educators working in varying higher education contexts. This book fills a gap in China’s educational literature marketplace for material with robust theoretical underpinning but firmly practical orientation. Alongside, there is keen interest in the UK and other Western countries in material presenting East/West perspectives in every field. The impetus for this book derives from cross-national dialogues between UK and China higher education leaders and practitioners sharing and exchanging their experience and expertise in the area of teaching and learning. These have demonstrated a thirst, in both countries, for “meta learning” on the evidence-based and experiential ways to learn covered in this book.
