Beskrivning
This text takes a radical look at the nature of adult learning in the postgraduate context and at the implications of this for universities and their courses. While, over recent decades, schools have had to undergo major re-assessments about how learning is developed into curriculum, how learning is delivered to students, and how that learning is assessed, universities have remained very largely detached from these pedagogical/andragogical issues. However, the circumstances of higher education provision have changed.There is alsoreal pressure now from vocationalism. Meeting the Challenges of Change in Postgraduate Education places these movements in both a UK and a wider context examines the nature of learning and teaching in postgraduate education and opens up the debate for rethinking university provision. The book examines concepts such as integration as ways of retaining the higher order skills of a university education over against narrower, technicist approaches and suggest a continuum of provision, but one in which the learner takes centre stage.

Recensioner i media

'The post graduate sector of higher education is growing with extraordinary rapidity and vitality but there is little consideration as to its nature. Is it to be an extension of undergraduate education or might it be seen in different ways? Might postgraduate students want to learn in ways that especially recognise their self-reliant capabilities? A merit of this volume is that it opens in an attractive an accessible way a space in which to address these issues. Anyone involved in designing, managing or teaching postgraduate courses will find this volume rewarding.' - Ron Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education and Consultant, Institute of Education, University of London, UK 'A comprehensive and thought-provoking review of current thinking in post-graduate education. Anyone concerned with the development and postgraduate curriculum or the delivery of courses will find their views challenged and their ideas broadened by this book' - Philip Tasker, Vice Chancellor, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK 'This timely and important collection, including chapters by a range of international contributors, helpfully addresses the challenges postgraduate education faces at a time of significant change. As such, it should appeal to a wide audience of students, practitioners and academics.' Mike Saks, Senior Pro Vice Chancellor, Universi4r of Lincoln, UK 'It is a good book and I recommend it.'
