Assessment in architecture and creative arts schools has traditionally adopted a ‘one size fits all’ approach by using the ‘crit’, where students pin up their work, make a presentation and receive verbal feedback in front of peers and academic staff. In addition to increasing stress and inhibiting learning, which may impact more depending on gender and ethnicity, the adversarial structure of the ‘crit’ reinforces power imbalances and thereby ultimately contributes to the reproduction of dominant cultural paradigms. This book critically examines the pedagogical theory underlying this approach, discusses recent critiques of this approach and the reality of the ‘crit’ is examined through analysis of practice. The book explores the challenges for education and describes how changes to feedback in education can shape the future of architecture and the creative arts.

Pedagogy in Higher Education provides a critical context for the exploration of the complex ways that pedagogy impacts the stakeholders of universities, and their interrelationships. The authors in this collection present a critique of the way they meet the challenge of engaging learners, across all levels of learning, in developing critical dispositions within their discipline while seeking the skills and knowledge required for them to flourish in a modern workforce. Creative, digital technologies feature in many of the narratives and authors question and probe their professional contexts to better understand and react to the multiple curricula, political and neoliberal tensions of modern universities. Encouraging critical reflection and practice, each chapter highlights implications for practice. Covering a wide range of interdisciplinary topics, such as Law, Education, Teacher Education, and Digital Technologies, Pedagogy in Higher Education provides current thinking from cross-disciplinary and international perspectives to inform colleagues and students both nationally and internationally and aims to foster discussions across universities globally.
