Abstract	This paper examines university teachers' conceptions of effective teaching. It reports a small illuminatory study of eight teachers. Their narratives identify rich insights. Conceptions of "learning through dialogue", "community of learners" and "meta-learning" emerge as crucial in supporting students' learning. These conceptions extend understanding of effective teaching in higher education and illuminate how teachers transform their teaching to transform learning. Insights emerge about the importance of social contexts. Theoretical dimensions informing pedagogy, knowledge construction, relationships between teaching and research, and professional learning are congruent: dialogue and collegiality are key. What inhibits teachers' effectiveness is the "performativity" culture especially setting aside preferred ways of operating as colleagues. A model is constructed to explain opposing standpoints. (Contains 3 tables and 2 figures.) (Author).
