ABSTRACT
I was determined that the next time I had the opportunity to travel abroad from the United States I would contact colleagues to interview them about the concept of ‘good teaching’ in their university or college. I was fortunate in being able to obtain an unpublished draft of Jeanne Ballantine’s research, with detailed descriptions of the interviews and the questions posed to the academics who formed the sample in her investigation. During the 1988-1989 academic year I was able to interview colleagues in Kuwait, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and England. With this material I continued the crosscultural studies of the concept of ‘good teaching’ in universities around the world.
