Sommario/riassunto

“This book will change and deepen your understanding of the interactions between the student experience, teaching and learning - a well-designed collection with excellent scholarly coverage of key theoretical and practical issues”. –Emeritus Professor Rob Cuthbert, University of the West of England, UK The book explores how national and institutional policies have had an impact on the quality of student experience. Student experience is becoming an increasingly important measure to assess the quality of learning and teaching: the chapters explore how institutions use student experience measures in improving the curriculum, assessments and other learning support. Through examining the definition of student experience within a variety of higher education contexts, the book explores the impact that a high reliance on student experience scores may have on academic standards. The editors and contributors question whether a new emphasis on student feedback as a gold standard for quality measurement may be potentially disruptive to the health and wellbeing of academic staff, combined with the increased use of student social media reviews. Covering topics such as the changing profiles of students in higher education, student voice in improving the quality of teaching, and the increased use of qualitative data, this book will be of interest and value to researchers of the student experience in higher education institutions.
