Conclusion: How to Become an Excellent University Teacher.This books offers new ways to think about teaching excellence in higher education and presents a definition of the concept of teaching excellence. It offers a fresh interpretation of Boyer’s famous account of scholarship as the foundation of university teaching. To fully understand the nature of teaching excellence in higher education, the book gives an account of the various dimensions of the domain of university teaching and the core drivers required to bring those domains to life. The idea of empowerment underlies the journey to excellence in teaching. The book argues that university lecturers aspiring to become excellent should be active agents, strongly pursuing the development of their perfectible abilities required for high quality teaching. The work draws on recent developments in virtue theory to set out the qualities of character requisite for guiding and driving university lecturers to grow and develop into excellent teachers.SpringerBriefs in Education,2211-193XEducation, HigherTeachersTraining ofHigher EducationTeaching and Teacher EducationEducació superiorthubAspectes moralsthubLlibres electrònicsthubEducation, Higher.TeachersTraining of.Higher Education.Teaching and Teacher Education.Educació superiorAspectes morals378.00711Lötter H.
