Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: Next Steps
Convener
Nicholas Soltis, University of Indianapolis
This session is designed for practitioners at various stages of experience with Scholarship of Teaching of Learning (SoTL), from those who are looking to incorporate SoTL in their classrooms to those who have data that are trying to figure out next steps. This workshop will look at best practices in SoTL and overview how to see a project idea through to a paper or presentation. In addition to defining and looking at various approaches to SoTL, we will also overview the Geoscience Education Research Strength of Evidence Pyramid (St. John & McNeal, 2017) and explore examples of SoTL papers from the Geoscience Education Community.
Goals
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
- Explore challenges and opportunities in scholarship of teaching and learning research
- Identify where you are in your SOTL journey and determine the next steps
- Identify places and strategies to disseminate SOTL research
- Apply the strength of evidence pyramid to their research plans
