UNSW strives for excellence in teaching. Our focus is student learning and how best to create an environment that interests, challenges, and enthuses students. We also want our teaching to be relevant and engaging in order to prepare our students for their futures.
As a research-led university, we want to approach teaching in a scholarly way: this means taking into account research on student learning, drawing upon established good practice in teaching, and encouraging critical reflection on practice. With these principles in mind, the Academic Board has agreed on a set of Guidelines on Learning that Inform Teaching at UNSW.
This site introduces the Guidelines and provides references to relevant research. More importantly, it also includes a Toolkit designed to help staff in reflecting on the effectiveness of their practices in learning and teaching in the context of developing those practices. We hope this site will form the basis for conversations with colleagues about how we can work together to enhance student learning at UNSW.
