On 20 and 27 November, Dr Josie Csete conducted two workshops entitled "Becoming a Scholarly Teacher". This workshop series was designed to provide an overview of the growing field of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The following topic areas were addressed across the series of workshops accompanied by hands-on activities:
(1) Scholarship in Higher Education
(2) Planning an SoTL study
(3) Library resources and research skills for SoTL
(4) Negotiating publication of the outcomes of your SoTL study
This series provided opportunities for participants to develop new skills and meet colleagues interested in SoTL. The information presented and skills practiced were found useful for teachers interested in reflecting on their own teaching (drawing on theory and evaluation data) and/or developing plans for small SoTL projects.
This activity was supported by EDC and CoP on Developing, Recognising and Rewarding Excellent Teaching.
