Description
This text looks at the theory and practice of learning and how universities can improve their quality and competence. It tackles the past failure of the quality and competence movements and encourages a move towards "universities of learning". The authors advocate an integration of elements which are often dealt with separately - theory and practice, teaching and research, institution and individual - and handle these dimensions of integration in conjunction with each other.
