Making Learning Centred Teaching Work in Asia and Beyond

Bol

The authors describe their faculty learning community-based journey through the adaptation, implementation, and assessment of a series of practical learning-centred teaching strategies. A valuable guide for anyone interested in implementing student learning-centred pedagogical approaches and using rubrics for assessing teaching practice. This book guides readers to transition their teaching to learning-centred practices. Based on Weimer’s (2002, 2013) and Blumberg’s (2009, 2019) framework, the authors describe their faculty learning community-based journey through the adaptation, implementation, and assessment of a series of practical learning-centred teaching strategies. While furnishing a critical discussion of challenges, directions, and development of learning-centred pedagogy as applied to an Asian context, this book provides suggested pathways for educators around the world to embark on their own journey toward learning-centred teaching. These pathways cover a range of disciplines and teaching contexts from architecture and engineering to systems thinking and general education, illustrating the robustness and flexibility of learning-centred teaching. The authors provide examples of good teaching practice to help instructors, instructional designers, faculty developers and university administrators see how principles of learning-centred teaching and assessment can translate practically into quality classroom teaching and learning. The rigorous assessment methodology is both highly reflective and readily applicable to teaching assessment and portfolio development. It also shows how Blumberg’s rubrics (2019, Making Learning-Centered Teaching Work, Appendix B, available for download on our website) and Cole & Stavros’ (2019) SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results) framework can be used to evaluate the impact of interventions. Contributing unique insights, this is a valuable guide for anyone interested in implementing student learning-centred pedagogical approaches and using rubrics for assessing teaching practice.
