Supporting the Teacher: Challenging the Learner
The BEST conference is aimed at both the experienced teacher and the
novice, to provide a good platform for raising debate and to encourage
excellence in current teaching methods. It will bring together
academics who recognise the significance of effective teaching practice
and knowledge dissemination in management education.
Papers addressing the following areas are called for:
support structures for lecturers and teachers:
critical perspectives on teaching practice
institutional policy and management;
academic review and quality assurance;
curriculum and learning resources;
the teaching-learning-research interface;
support structures for students:
innovative teaching and assessment;
learner support and guidance;
learners (and teachers) with special needs.
We anticipate contributions from a wide section of the business academic
community, and that discussions that have been taken place throughout the
year will be carried forward at the conference.
Abstracts (500-600 words) should clearly describe the focus of the paper
and intended presentation and should be submitted to BEST electronically in
Word format by
17 December, 2001. Full papers should be received by:
24 February 2002
Our venue this year is one of the great conference destinations of the
world: Edinburgh. A city of historical interest which also offers art
galleries, botanical gardens and excellent shopping.
We will be staying at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, which stands halfway between
Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace on The Royal Mile, offering easy
access by road, rail or air. The Crowne Plaza is a luxurious hotel
offering a leisure club and several bars for relaxation.
