The book explores the motivational orientation of higher education students through three interrelated studies involving undergraduates, community college students, and postgraduate learners in Hong Kong. Utilizing semi-structured interviews and an exploratory grounded theory approach, it develops a motivational orientation framework with six facets that shift during students' academic journeys. The findings highlight eight supportive conditions for a motivating teaching and learning environment, illustrated with student quotes. It also examines the impact of Hong Kong's expanding higher education sector and cultural considerations regarding Asian students' performance.

Evaluating Teaching and Learning explains how evaluation can be more effective in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning and introduces broader and more diverse forms of evaluation.
