As If

Peer observation of teaching is seen as a supportive and developmental process for improving the quality of teaching in universities. Evidence is emerging that the process of observing is just as if not more valuable than being observed and given feedback. In this study lecturers completing a Foundations program in university learning and teaching were interviewed about their experience of participating in a reciprocal peer observation exercise. The benefits for observers include learning about a new strategy and enhancing their confidence to try this strategy in their own teaching. Receiving feedback was also perceived to be useful but not more beneficial than watching a peer teach. We discuss implications of our results for units and institutions planning to implement peer observation as part of a strategic approach to improve the quality of learning and teaching.

Quality Process

El proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje se puede decir que es de calidad si existe coherencia entre sus componentes personales y no personales. Estos componentes se relacionan en unidad dialéctica y por tal razón, para que el proceso sea eficaz cada uno de estos componentes debe poseer altos niveles de calidad. En el presente trabajo se valora el componente evaluativo. Específicamente se presentan argumentos de cómo el portafolio digital contribuye a mejorar la calidad del proceso de evaluación del aprendizaje sirviendo de plataforma para la innovación de conjunto entre estudiantes y profesores mediante la realimentación mutua. Para argumentar dichas afirmaciones se presentan algunos resultados alcanzados en la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas en Cuba.Digital portfolio and its impact on the quality of learning assessment processAbstractThe teaching and learning process can be nominated as a quality process if there is consistency between its personal and none-personal components. Those components are related in dialectical unity and for that reason, for the process to be effective each of those components must present high standards. In this paper, the assessment component is specially analyzed. Particularly, a case of how digital portfolios improve the quality of teaching and learning process providing a platform for innovation among students and teachers together through mutual feedback is presented. In order to support the previous statement some outcomes achieved in the Central University "Marta Abreu" of Las Villas in Cuba are also presented.

Jill Raitt highlights the gap between imagination and information, shifting the conversation towards the tangible impacts of an education system that relies on test scores instead of the quality of learning and teaching. The way an individual is taught influences their perception of the unfamiliar, and thus the quantification of quality in education could lead to irreconcilable sociopolitical climates in the future. Originally published in the February 1991 issue of the Council of Societies for the Study of Religion Bulletin (20, no. 1), the piece continues to speak volumes today, particularly in the context of educating in the age of COVID-19.

Australian Universities

The uptake of web-based lecture technologies for recording and delivering live lectures has increased markedly in recent years. Students have responded positively, and for many their use has transformed learning – freeing them up from rigid timetables by providing choice in lecture attendance and supporting learning by extending the lecture experience and enabling them to revisit key concepts and ideas in their own time. Less transformational has been the impact on teaching. Although changing attendance patterns and disquiet about the quality of learning are of concern to many, lecturers have largely responded by simply modifying lectures. For most, the challenges of catering for the learning needs of a cohort with variable lecture attendance have not been addressed at a whole of the curriculum level. The technologies have been added on, rather than integrated into the curriculum. This paper will review the changes taking place in learning and teaching, explore the reluctance to embrace more wholesale change to the curriculum, and discuss the implications for institutions in the face of ongoing change.
