Ethical Considerations for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

I’m just putting together a handout of references for the workshop I’m co-presenting this week at the SoTL Symposium.  I know how research ethics is such an exciting topic which everyone LOVES to read about so thought I’d share the list here too  😉

Cheers,
Janice

Symposium Keynote – Changing Practices: Reflections on SoTL and Teaching

We are thrilled to announce that MRU scholars Karen Manarin and April McGrath will be giving the third Keynote at MRU’s annual Symposium on SoTL this year.  Knowing their previous work, this is sure to be both thoughtful and thought-provoking.  Here is the abstract:

If the scholarship of teaching and learning is conceptualized as an inquiry cycle or spiral beginning with a question about student learning in our classrooms, at some point we need to bring what we have learned back to the classroom. However, this rarely involves simple implementation of a planned intervention. In this presentation, Karen Manarin and April McGrath, faculty members from different disciplines and at different stages in their academic careers, discuss some of the ways engaging in the scholarship of teaching and learning has affected their practice. They reflect on questions about disciplinary assumptions, assessment practices, instructor identity, and student relationships.  Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences of how SoTL has changed or challenged their teaching practices.
