Enhancing Faculty Professional Development provides practical strategies for incorporating collaborative active learning into learning and teaching, while exploring the potential of faculty professional development to transform traditional teaching practices.
This book discusses activity-based collaborative active learning (CAL) approaches in connection with the learning and teaching of STEM and non-STEM disciplines. It also covers feedback and assessment activities as learning activities supported by learning technologies and applied in appropriate learning spaces. The contributing authors discuss in detail the implementation and facilitation of activity-based CAL strategies, the problems encountered and corresponding mitigation measures. In addition, all activities are developed in a blended mode, making them suitable for readers at any level of education who are interested in trying out CAL. Covering both STEM and non-STEM disciplines, this book offers comprehensive guidelines for lecturers who are interested in active learning.

The Politics and Machinations of Education Research: International Case Studies brings together twelve education researchers from four countries - the United States, England, Australia, and Malaysia - to reflect on their experience of doing research. From large-scale national projects, to micro research within classrooms and communities, the political conduct and consequences subtly and not so subtly redefine the outcomes of the research. Each of the researchers shares the highs and lows of the experience and gives hints for the beginning researcher. This book is organized around three themes: political interventions; action research in schools; and cross-cultural research.
