Abstract Interdisciplinary research into the interplay between emotions, cognition, and translation is still in its infancy. This is certainly true for research focused on teachers, teachers’ motivation, and related emotions. Unlike in translation studies, however, the situation in teacher motivation theory and research has changed significantly over the last decade. This article draws on teacher motivation theory to adopt an interpretive framework for the study of teacher socioemotional dimensions, as associated with students’ positive perceptions of effective teaching and learning. A self-case study involving the reflexive analysis of a teaching portfolio in translation suggests that teacher motivation and emotions significantly influence students’ perceptions of effective teaching and learning, and that research on teachers matters for reasons such as student outcomes and teacher professional development.

Masterful professors not only grow in knowledge of their discipline, they also grow in sharpening their teaching skill. This article examines effective teaching and learning in the higher education context. More specifically, it looks at how effective pedagogy aims to see the student fully engaged in the learning process. It explores what it means to engage the college student in learning, why it is important, and several strategies to facilitate engagement in learning. Really, in its simplest form, it is all about who gets to chew the cracker!

Leadership plays an important role in an educational establishment as they help to manage the day-to-day activities. Instructional leadership has always played a distinct role in higher education as the role of instructional leadership was always to influence on effective teaching and learning processes. The purpose of this research is intended to identify the role of instructional leadership, including the relationship between instructional leadership and the role of module leaders in higher education using their own institution as a case study. The author conducted a small scall semistructured interview where two programme leaders were selected from the School of Business and Health and Social Care and were approached directly by sending formal email and also over the phone and asked if they were willing to participate. Research findings suggest that instructional leadership enables the programme/module leaders to establish a shared belief around the learning and can improve the learner’s achievement.

Blended learning enhances education and offers effective teaching and learning. Its success is well-documented, as well as the criticism regarding quality assurance in blended learning. Quality assurance (QA) is an invaluable aspect of teaching and learning and has a rightful position in higher education. QA strives to ensure a standard of teaching and learning which is relevant, effective, and resourceful, and it occurs within an established framework. Research suggests that the implementation of an effective QA framework is a complex matter, with great emphasis on context. Such a framework contains various elements which are often denoted by benchmarking. This chapter highlights the implementation of sustainable and effective policies at an institutional level as one such element. Meaningful collaboration between institutions will lead to greater success in the implementation of an effective QA framework. Institutions in underprivileged communities find this implementation challenging, but there are some encouraging examples of success and progress.
