A positive learning and teaching climate through the continuous development of teaching competences
Gerhard van de Bunt , Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam | Silvester Draaijer , Vrije Universiteit AmsterdamThe continuous development of teaching competences needs commitment at all levels. It is a systematic process that requires a framework for teaching performance, a professionalisation body, preferably an all-embracing innovation network, and an informal teaching community. Gerhard van de Bunt and Silvester Draaijer from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam discuss why success can only be guaranteed if higher education institutions take the student voice and student feedback very seriously. It is about trust and confidence, not about control and checking.
