Themes: What Areas of Higher Education Have or Have Not

Been Researched?

This study followed Tight’s ( 2004 , 2012 ) eight categories to examine main research
themes in higher education and added one new research theme, internationalization.
The nine themes are related to the following issues:

• Teaching and learning: student learning, different kinds of students, teaching in
  higher education, the “how to” genre


• Course design: the higher education curriculum, technologies for learning, stu-
  dent writing, assessment, postgraduate course design
