Description

The curriculum is a live issue in universities across the world. Many stakeholders -- governments, employers, professional and disciplinary groups and parents -- express strong and often conflicting views about what higher education should achieve for its students. Many universities are reviewing their curricula at an institutional level, aware that they are in a competitive climate in which league tables encourage students to see themselves as consumers and the university as a product, or even a 'brand'. The move has prompted renewed concern for some central educational questions, about both what is learnt and how. Strategic Curriculum Change in Universities explores the ways in which major universities across the world are reviewing their approaches to teaching and learning. It unites institution-level strategy with the underlying educational issues. The book is grounded in a major study of curriculum change in over twenty internationally-focused, research-intensive universities in the UK, US, Australia, The Netherlands, South Africa and Hong Kong.

Before this he established and directed a Centre for Academic Practice at the University of Warwick from 1995 for over ten years before becoming Professor of Higher Education and Director of the Centre for the Study of Higher Education at Coventry University. Paul established a national Standing Conference on Academic Practice (SCAP) in 1996, a group with a shared interest in a holistic view of academic expertise. Dr Camille B. Kandiko joined King's Learning Institute at King's College London as a Research Associate in January 2008. She contributes to the Institute's research agenda by bringing an international perspective to research on curriculum change, assessment of PhD supervision, concept mapping pedagogy and the study of interdisciplinarity and interprofessionalism.
