Changing one’s habits when in communication with others or even over time through one’s environmental interaction or educational inquiry changes not only how one transacts but also how one is in the world as well as the world itself.

This book addresses the problem of how best to evaluate and improve the standard of higher education teaching in a climate of accountability and appraisal. It links educational theory and the practical realities of teaching in an entirely new way. Designed for the use of practising lecturers, it argues that becoming a good teacher in higher education involves listening to one’s students and changing one’s understanding of teaching.
