In institutions of higher education, both internationality and diversity are highly valued. Yet the relationship between these two values often remains undefined. On the one hand, the 'internationalisation imperative' and the 'diversity imperative' can be regarded as two sides of the same coin. On the other hand, they are perceived as two…

This chapter explores the limitations of measuring teaching quality through observation of "observable behaviors" and argues for a more holistic approach to educational development that focuses on the richness of pedagogical qualities.
