Abstract

[Higher education is undergoing a major transformation that encompasses both philosophy and practice. Where it was once believed that subject matter expertise alone was a sufficient basis for teaching at the university level, there is now a growing recognition that teaching expertise is also necessary to ensure that students develop a deep, lasting understanding of that subject matter. As a result, institutions of higher education have placed increasing emphasis on professional development to help university faculty members compensate for their lack of specific training in teaching. This book describes one such response—a university teaching and learning center based within a disciplinary unit and focused specifically on teaching within interrelated disciplines.]
