Abstract

This contribution offers a reflection on higher education and encourages innovation in the current rail-focused teaching practices and learning approaches. A study of present teaching methods, programme delivery, and student performance assessments was carried out in seven European universities. The collected data were provided by senior lecturers and teaching fellows. As a result, improvements in ‘Classroom Assessment Techniques,’ course-related, and teacher-related student feedback practices were identified. New policies and practices for innovating rail skills development in academia that could be audited, shared, and improved in order to strengthen both the delivery of rail higher education provision and the development of rail skills in various universities across Europe were suggested and verified.
