Lot of 6 books on higher educationTeacher Educators Rethink Self-Assessment in Higher EducationThis edited book provides readers with a guide for implementing self-assessment and self-evaluation that is based on a model implemented successfully in a diverse range of teacher education courses. Educators from disciplines as diverse as theater arts, early childhood, psychology, mathematics, and science education have adopted a model of self-assessment and self-evaluation that supports the individual ongoing assessment of learning throughout a course as well as the final synthesis of individual learning in the course. Self-assessment and self-evaluation are presented here as a means to help students and teachers reinvent the learning proces.

The result of three years of research in a field that is amorphous, changing by the day due to a lack of clear policies to regulate it (especially with theatre and film production), this volume serves as a bridge between the creative and cultural industries and the world of academia.
