Many faculty approach a new semester of teaching by trying out a different pedagogical technique because they predict the change will improve the teaching and learning experience. Are you interested in finding out whether a pedagogical change will improve your students’ learning? If so, then join your colleagues for a discussion about any aspect of planning, executing, or publishing a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project. Prospective and experienced ‘SoTLers’ are welcome, as we explore a book that can both introduce the SoTL field and offer some of the latest ideas in related research.
In this session, we’ll discuss Chapters 4 and 5 of Part II of the book, entitled Generating Data for SoTL of the recently published book, SoTL Research Methodologies: A Guide to Conceptualizing and Conducting the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning by Yeo et al., 2024. We’ll focus on Chapter 4, Generating Quantitative Data and Constructing Questionnaires, pp. 55-68, and Chapter 5, Interviews and Focus Groups, pp. 69-80. Participants may access the ebook online at any time through the AOK library in advance of the session using the following step-by-step instructions:
