Academics nowadays are increasingly expected to implement high-quality teaching, what is frequently referred to as 'excellent teaching'. Understandings of academics' conceptions of excellent teaching are, however, limited, despite extensive research on different aspects of quality teaching. To address this gap, there is a need to expand the…

Peseta, Tai; Bell, Amani – Higher Education Research and Development, 2020

Amiet, D.; Choate, J.; Hoskin, J.; Dart, J. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2021
Career development is an essential component of graduate employability, particularly for students undertaking degree programs that are not aligned to a specific vocational outcome. For undergraduate career development to be effective, it should be embedded into the curriculum and involve the academic teaching staff. This approach enhances the…
