Product Description
Product Description
"This innovative and readable book is not something to be cherry-picked for quick hints and tips. It is a work to be read and re-read and savoured for its humanity, sagacity, practicality and reflection upon the all-important relationships between teaching and learning and the teacher and the learner." - "British Journal of Educational Technology". "...a delightful and unusual reflective journey...the whole book is driven by a cycle of questions, examples, strategies and generalizations from the examples. In all, it is the clearest example of practise-what-you-preach that I have seen." - John Biggs, Honorary Professor of Psychology, University of Hong Kong. "This is a unique book, written by a well-known figure in HE who has broad experience and a long track record as an exemplary and caring teacher!The book is unique because it is written in a very personal manner, with a sharing of the author's varied experiences and great enthusiasm for the processes of teaching and communication." - Jenny Moon, Bournemouth Media Centre and Independent Consultant. "[Cowan's] innovative approach to the authorship of a well researched and practical book is worthy of particular mention!Practitioners that are keen to allow spaces for innovative approaches to professional development in learners will find this text readable and thought provoking. " - "Teaching in Higher Education"."On Becoming an Innovative University Teacher" shows readers how to plan and run innovative activities to engage their students in effective reflective learning. The book uses an unusual and accessible method: each chapter begins by posing a question with which university and college teachers can be expected to identify; then answers the question by presenting a series of examples, thereafter the writer frankly airs his own second thoughts on what he has offered. In the second edition of this popular book, Cowan maintains his relaxed and readable style, and the book features revised coverage to make it even more accessible and useful. The examples have been updated throughout and a new chapter looks at innovation and reflection in the context of contemporary higher education. This is key reading for all university teachers, whether new or experienced, who want to revitalise their teaching.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book full of practical ideas,
By Jon Wolf (The Canals of England & Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On Becoming an Innovative University Teacher (Society for Research into Higher Education) (Paperback)
I have found this book extremely useful, teaching at Masters level for the first time - the sections on use of Socratic Dialogue have been especially good, both for tutorial discussions and assessed written work - indeed, it is worth having for those sections alone. It is also useful for students, to help give some clarity to what is expected of them! This book should be in every university and departmental library.
