Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Discussion (New Date)
Wondering how students learn?
Do you
sometimes find yourself wondering about how students learn in your class? Have
you ever analyzed your students’ assignments/conversations/emails looking for
clues about that? Are you interested in finding out whether a change you make
in your teaching improves your students’ learning? If so, then join your
colleagues for a continuing discussion about all aspects of planning,
executing, and disseminating a scholarship of teaching and learning project.
For the
spring 2016 semester, we’ll begin at the beginning, so to speak. We will read
several chapters of Engaging in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: A
Guide to the Process and How to Develop a Project from Start to Finish by
Bishop-Clark and Dietz-Uhler, Stylus Publishing, 2012 (copies provided to
participants who attend any session). We will trace a few model projects from
initial design to completion, discussing how to develop good research
questions, design studies, gather meaningful evidence, and report results. Some
sessions may also include brief presentations of faculty projects. Lunch will
be provided.
There are three (3) sessions during Spring 2016. They are March 9 (rescheduled from February 15th), March 22 and April 20. Please register for each session, individually.
