Publisher's Synopsis
Curriculum Design is the cornerstone of higher education. Faculty members, teachers, administrators, and other professionals engage in designing curricula which structure the study and learning processes of students. History shows that university education has a long tradition of being centered around delivery of content to students. Learning-Centred Curriculum Design in Higher Education is written to inspire and empower university teachers to take another approach and engage in curriculum design processes that center both learning process and learning outcome of students. The book holds ten illustrative examples of learning-centered curriculum design spanning four approaches to curriculum design. The chapters are written by university faculty pioneering learning-centered activities in their respective curricula. The book is truly international as authors are from Denmark, England, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Turkey, and U.S.A.
