The UK Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) as an Illustration of Baudrillard's Hyperreality
Canning, John
Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, v40 n3 p319-330 2019
This article examines the 'Teaching Excellence Framework' (TEF) for UK universities through the lens of Jean Baudrillard's concept of hyperreality. I argue that the TEF is a hyperreal simulacrum, a sign which has no traceable genealogy to the practice of learning and teaching.
