Researching teaching and learning across the disciplines

Posted by Centre for Learning and Teaching on October 2, 2017 in General Announcements

Each Studio Course will offer faculty members dedicated time and guidance to explore an aspect of teaching and learning in greater depth than in an introductory workshop. Studio Course participants will meet for approximately 8-10 hours during the semester and will emerge from these courses having embarked on a project of meaning and substance. Studio Courses may be made available to faculty members at the Truro campus by video-conference on request.

Fall 2017 offering

​Researching Teaching and Learning across the Disciplines

This short course is designed to introduce faculty members to the field of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL).  In this course, our aim is to explore researching teaching and learning across the disciplines through a facilitated research development process to design a SoTL research project – from defining a research question and placing that question in the context of the relevant literatures, to determining appropriate research methodologies and exploring the ethical implications of your research design.  Throughout the course, you will be introduced to some foundational writings in the field of SoTL, while engaging in practical exercises that will result in a SoTL project that can be undertaken upon completion of the course.

We will meet on Fridays from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, in the Killam Library, Room B400, on the following dates:

  • October 6
  • October 20
  • November 3
  • November 17
