THE TEACHING EXCELLENCE PROJECT: A FRAMEWORK FOR LEADING INTEGRATIVE CHANGE AND QUALITY LEARNING IN TECHNOLOGICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
摘要：
The use of the Teaching Excellence framework developed in the UK Government Green Paper (2015)and the Taiwan Stage Two Teaching Excellence Project (TEP) implemented at the Tainan University of Technology (TUT), Taiwan, between 2009 to 2016 is documented in this narrative study. With the goal of improving domestic universities’ teaching systems, the TEP framework includes effective teaching, support, assessment, and learning opportunities that lead to students becoming successful and responsible learners. Improvements in teaching quality were identified and implemented at the TUT based on this framework. The areas and practices involved using the framework to create university-wide commitment to comprehensive curriculum development. A general overview of the framework for leading integrative change is included and an explanation of how the dual objectives of the framework can be used as an index to measure the progress of change discussed. The case of the TUT provides insight into the implications of implementing the framework, one of which is excitement about teaching issues. The findings demonstrate that success involves creating a sustainable future that is realized by raising the quality of education, research, and development that supports the vision of collegial governance and academic freedom.
