Learning, Teaching and Assessment in CBHE

This chapter pays attention to micro-encounters in teaching and learning in CBHE. It explores discourses of knowledge-making, identity building and student becoming. The chapter re-frames teaching and learning as socio-cultural practices deeply embedded in the wider discourses of HE: vocationalism, employability and skills acquisition. These discourses tend to play out particular ways of ‘being’ and ‘doing’ for teachers and students which create an ‘institutional habitus.’ It considers implications for social justice and impacts for students with little family experience of HE and explores the potential of CBHE as a uniquely ‘between’/other/third space.
