本文探讨了好教学的概念，并讨论了讲师对高等教育中什么是好教学的看法。本文以高等教育讲师撰写的《教学哲学说明书》形式的文献资料为基础。本研究采用主题分析的方法，通过对数据的分析发现，对于教师而言，诚实、尊重、责任、关怀和同情心等道德立场是做好教学工作的基础。研究结果不支持侧重于策略和技术知识的狭隘教学观点，但表明学者们强烈支持他们作为教师的工作的价值观基础。在他们的哲学陈述中捕捉到的学术人员的声音是认识到教学的道德目的，并有力地向负责任和有效的实践说话。这两种性格在教学中都很重要，挑战是在专业发展中整合这两个概念。
This paper explores the concept of good teaching and discusses lecturers' beliefs about what constitutes good teaching in higher education. The paper draws on documentary material in the form of philosophy of teaching statements written by lecturers in higher education. Thematic analysis is used to examine the philosophy statements and the analysis of the data reveals that for academic staff, the moral stances of honesty, respect, responsibility, care and compassion are fundamental to good teaching. The results do not support a narrow view of teaching focused on strategies and technical knowledge, but shows evidence of academics engaging strongly with the values base of their work as teachers. The voices of the academic staff as captured in their philosophy statements are cognisant of the moral purpose of teaching and speak powerfully to a practice that is responsible and effective. Both dispositions are important in terms of teaching and the challenge is to integrate the two concepts in professional development.
