  Got
questions about your students' learning? Then join KCTL's Scholarship
of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Program, led by Loretta Brancaccio
Taras (Biological Sciences) and Fran Smith (Behavioral Sciences).
The SoTL Program is offered in five phases:
Phase 1: Reading, Thinking, Observing,
& Reporting
In Phase 1 you will be provided with materials and resources
at Seminar I to help you |
- Locate,
read, and discuss SoTL literature
- Frame
research questions based on observations of your own teaching
and your own student's learning
- Understand
the process of submitting an IRB application and become
certified to do research with human subjects
- Create
your own Carnegie KEEP Toolkit project snapshot where you
can log the progress of your SoTL work throughout your project
Phase
2: Designing and Planning a Research Project
In Phase 2, at Seminar II,
you will be able to
|
- Explore
various research methodologies and find those appropriate
for your question - even if they might not be those predominating
in your discipline
- Examine
a variety of classroom assessment techniques
Phase
3: Data Collection
In
Phase 3 you will be asked to
|
- Post
your research question, procedures, and data collection
instruments on your KEEP Toolkit project snapshot
- Communicate
with other faculty working on SoTL projects so you can support
each other's work in this phase and the next
Phase
4: Preliminary Data Analysis & Making Work Public (Part
I)
In Phase 4 you will have
the opportunity to
|
- Present
both your procedures for collecting and analyzing data and
a sample of your findings to other faculty working in SoTL
- Either
revise your design, in effect treating Phase 3 work as a
pilot, or proceed to writing up your study to submit for
publication or for presentation at a professional conference
on SoTL or in your discipline
Phase
5: Making Work Public (Part II)
Once you have
|
- Completed
Seminars I and II
- Had
your IRB proposal approved
- Posted
your work on your KEEP Toolkit snapshot
- Collected
data
- Shared
data and preliminary findings with other SoTL participants
You will
receive one hour of reassigned time or 25 hours at the 60%
rate (at the discretion of your chairperson) in Phase 5 to
support you as you revise your design and/or prepare your
work for publication. For more information or to join this
group, please contact Loretta at ltaras@kbcc.cuny.edu.
