Abstract
ABSTRACT This conceptual article focuses on teaching and learning strategies aimed at helping students in higher education develop cross-crossing skills such as communication, critical thinking, teamwork, problem-solving, and working with diverse others. Within the framework of high impact practices and their elements, the article shares practical ideas for developing and responding to assignments that emphasize cross-crossing skills and measuring associated learning outcomes. The article focuses on developing assignments with an emphasis on designing and structuring team ePortfolios, collaborative projects, peer review tasks, and reflection; responding to assignments with techniques such as rubrics, course communications, and self-regulation strategies; and measuring outcomes to determine the effectiveness of assigned tasks with the goal of informing curricular and pedagogical modifications.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Higher Education Pedagogies is to identify, promote and publish excellence and innovations in the practice and theory of teaching and learning in and across all disciplines in higher education. The journal will provide an international forum for the sharing, dissemination and discussion of research, experience and perspectives across a wide range of teaching and learning issues. The journal will prove a valuable resource for individuals in the development and enhancement of their own practice, and for institutions in the promotion of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Higher Education Pedagogies will focus on disciplinary pedagogies and learning experiences; the higher education curriculum, i.e. what is taught and how it is developed and enhanced including both skills and knowledge; the delivery of the higher education curriculum; how it is taught and how students learn, and academic development; the role of teaching and learning in the development of academic careers and its place within the profession. Higher Education Pedagogies welcomes papers which are accessible to both specialist and generalist readers and are theoretically and empirically rigorous. Through advancing knowledge of, and practice in, teaching and learning, Higher Education Pedagogies will prove essential reading for all those who wish to stay informed of state-of-the-art teaching and learning developments in higher education. Higher Education Pedagogies is sponsored by the Higher Education Academy.
