Course Description

Facilitator: Ray Miller, Hubbard Center

Session 1: Research and Teaching: Exploring the Relationship
Session 2: Research Enhanced Education
Session 3: Going Beyond the Divide

The Faculty Learning Community (FLC) on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is designed to encourage faculty to conduct research on their pedagogical practice. While SoTL has been an active part of researching university and college teaching for almost twenty years, some faculty continue to view it as a lesser form of scholarship than that associated with one’s discipline. Angela Brew in her book, UNIVERSITIES INTO THE 21ST CENTURY: RESEARCH AND TEACHING—BEYOND THE DIVIDE, addresses this issue within the context of the evolving redefinition of undergraduate education into the 21st century.

Participants in this FLC will receive a copy of Angela Brew’s book and must attend all three sessions (September 17; October 8; and November 12).
