Announcing the winner of the International Award for Excellence

photo_patricia Congratulations to Patrícia Albergaria Almeida the winner of the International Award for Excellence in the world universities field with her paper Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: An Overview.

Abstract: The quality of teaching and learning in universities has received much attention over the past two decades and there has been much discussion about what kind of teaching stimulates effective learning. Lately, however, the focus has moved from just teaching to teaching as scholarship. The scholarship of teaching and learning emerged as a fundamental concept to the development of good teaching practices in Higher Education and, consequently, to the enhancement of the quality of student learning. The concept of scholarship of teaching and learning is relatively new and still in its early stages of development. Consequently, there is an enormous variation in the ways scholarship of teaching and learning is understood and represented. The goal of this essay is to present an overview of the scholarship of teaching and learning in Higher Education, as well as to outline a number of suggestions through which the scholarship of teaching and learning may be improved.

We are accepting submissions for The Journal of the World Universities Forum.

The Journal of the World Universities Forum seek to explore the meaning and purpose of the academy in times of striking social transformation. The Journal brings together university administrators, teachers and researchers to discuss the prospects of the academy and to exemplify or imagine ways in which the university can take a leading and constructive role in the transformations of our times.

Today, universities face significant challenges to their traditional position in society—contemporary knowledge systems are becoming more distributed and learning ubiquitous. Where does this leave the university – as an historically specialised and privileged place for certain kinds of knowledge and learning, as an institutionally bounded space? What do these changes mean for the mission and structures of the renewed university? What are emerging as principal areas of the academic interest?

Refereeing of submitted papers will commence shortly so start the submission process early by submitting your proposal.

Paper submission guidelines and timelines are available online.
