Are you looking to get started in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning? Are you interested in designing enquiries into your teaching, exploring student learning and enhancing your practice as an educator? This is the first in a series of 3 CPD sessions which will help you get started, regardless of where and when you are in your career.
The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is a systematic approach to improving teaching and learning in higher education. It is a process that enables you to function as both a teaching practitioner and a researcher, enquiring into learning and teaching with a view to sharing your findings and enhancing practice. In this first session, we will explore the meaning of SoTL in HE, introduce a framework that will help you understand the role of SoTL in the academy, and encourage you to develop an area of enquiry to test the waters with in your development as a SoTLer.
This session is open to staff of the University of Glasgow. Graduate Teaching Assistants are welcome to register for the purpose of developing their own teaching practice, but please note that these sessions are not suitable for any students seeking training for their own PhD research projects. Contact your School for information on the research methods training available to you as a student. For the avoidance of doubt as to eligibility, please register using your staff email address.
