PRACTICAL POINTERS FOR QUALITY ASSESSMENT

Quality assessment of educational provision is a concept that is gaining increasing acceptance. This book is aimed at the higher education and further education practitioner, whether an individual teacher concerned about having his or her teaching observed or for a head of department preparing for a forthcoming assessment. The "practical pointers" are not just tips; they are things that have to be thought about and addressed. The book builds on work already done on quality assessment and takes it further, asking questions about what can be learned from assessment and how it can be developed in a positive way.
