Changing and Developing Teachers’ Approaches to Teaching

Abstract

The focus of this chapter is research on how university teachers’ approaches to and experiences of teaching and learning change and develop over time. It addresses the role formal university courses, seminars and workshops play in developing these approaches and changing these experiences. It concludes that teachers with appropriate support can and do grow as university teachers in ways that are consistent with the teaching-learning model underpinning the book and provides principles of practice to support and enable that growth.
