Universities face the challenge of how to teach students more complex thinking and problem-solving skills than were widely needed in the past, and how to teach these to a much larger and more diverse student body. Research advances in learning and teaching over the past few decades provide a way to meet these challenges. These advances have established expertise in university teaching: a set of skills and knowledge that consistently achieve better learning outcomes than the traditional and still predominant teaching methods practiced by most faculty. Widespread recognition and adoption of these expert practices will profoundly change the nature of university teaching and have a large beneficial impact on higher education.

大学教学专业知识及其对教学效果，评估和培训的启示

大学面临的挑战是，如何教给学生比过去广泛需要的更复杂的思维和解决问题的能力，以及如何将这些教给更大，更多样化的学生群体。过去几十年的学习和教学研究进展为应对这些挑战提供了一种途径。这些进步已经在大学教学中建立了专业知识：与大多数教师所采用的传统且仍然占主导地位的教学方法相比，一组技能和知识能够持续取得更好的学习成果。这些专家实践的广泛认可和采用将深刻改变大学教学的性质，并对高等教育产生巨大的有益影响。
