An Evidence-based Guide to College and University Teaching Developing the Model Teacher

"Books on how to teach are usually written by educational researchers or by teachers. The strength of this book is that all three authors are both. They are influential researchers on pedagogy and award-winning teachers. They know how to integrate research, which generally focuses on one or two factors, into the complex whole that is teaching. This book provides readers with a coherent framework for thinking about their teaching, along with evidence-based approaches to use to improve teaching. This book is more than a set of teaching tips. It is a cycle of self-reflection, innovation, assessment, and more self-reflection, to help readers develop into model teachers." -- Stephen L. Chew, Professor of Psychology Samford University, USA; Chair, National Institute on the Teaching of Psychology (NITOP)
