This is a book about the ethics of teaching in the context of higher education. While many books focus on the broader socially ethical topics of widening participation and promoting equal opportunities, this unique book concentrates specifically on the lecturer's professional responsibilities. It covers the real-life, messy, everyday moral dilemmas that confront university teachers when dealing with students and colleagues - whether arising from facilitated discussion in the classroom, deciding whether it is fair to extend a deadline, investigating suspected plagiarism or dealing with complaints. Bruce Macfarlane analyses the pros and cons of prescriptive professional codes of practice employed by many universities and proposes the active development of professional virtues over bureaucratic recommendations. The material is presented in a scholarly, yet accessible style, and case examples are used throughout to encourage a practical, reflective approach. Teaching With Integrity seeks to bridge the pedagogic gap currently separating the debate about teaching and learning in higher education from the broader social and ethical environment in which it takes place.
Bruce Macfarlane Livres
Cet auteur, un physicien de la santé à la retraite vivant sur la côte anglaise, apporte un mélange unique de formation scientifique et de passion pour la science-fiction des débuts, en particulier pour les récits de voyage dans le temps. Ses romans explorent les aventures d'un homme moderne et d'une dame victorienne, mêlant des éléments décrits comme un mélange de l'esprit de Tom Holt, du charme de P.G. Wodehouse, de la nature spéculative de Philip K. Dick et des phénomènes curieux que l'on trouve dans Fortean Times. À travers son style distinctif, il examine les intersections d'époques différentes et les rencontres inattendues qui en résultent. Son œuvre offre aux lecteurs un voyage enchanteur rempli de scénarios imaginatifs et de personnages captivants.
