Advance HE Teaching & Learning Conference 2018: The influence of the New Right on the concept of quality teaching and learning in universities

The aim of this session is to analyse and discuss the ways in which neoliberalism and neo-conservatism (together referred to as the ‘new right’) have influenced our understandings and expectations of quality teaching and learning in the tertiary context. While these forces have resulted in an increased interest in teaching quality in the tertiary sector notions of quality teaching and student expectations of the teaching experience have changed as a result of these forces and continue to change significantly. The analysis draws on the 3-P learning system model developed by Biggs. The focus is on the presage stage composed of the teaching context and the student expectations.
