Papers by Sharon Lierse
determine what characteristics outstanding university lecturers have
in common. Academic staff and graduate students at an Australian
university were invited to participate in a survey questionnaire
followed by voluntary interviews. Lecturers who had been identified
as outstanding were also interviewed. The five characteristics were
expertise, holistic approach to learning, engaging the student, open
door policy and ambitious altruists. This study found that outstanding
lecturers were unconventional in their work practices and valued
student learning often at the sacrifice of their own career paths.
Outstanding university lecturers are ambitious altruists who are
working in an increasingly bureaucratized system.
