The book "An Evidence-Based Guide to College and University Teaching: Developing the Model Teacher" by Aaron S. Richmond, Regan A. R. Gurung, and Guy A. Boysen is a practical resource for higher education instructors, grounded in scientific research on pedagogy.
The authors, professors of psychology and education, provide clear criteria for "model teaching," covering aspects such as preparation, teaching methods, student assessment, curriculum development, and the use of feedback.
The book includes self-assessments, practical examples, case studies, and advice on improving teaching skills for educators at any experience level.
Its primary goal is to offer objective guidelines for defining and enhancing teaching quality in colleges and universities, ultimately fostering effective student learning.
