Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Discussion Group √ §

Do you sometimes find yourself wondering how students learn in your class? Have you ever analyzed your students’ work looking for patterns in their learning? Are you interested in finding out whether a pedagogical change will improve your students’ learning? If so, then join your colleagues for a continuing discussion about all aspects of planning, executing, and publishing a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project.

Last fall’s session of the SoTL Discussion Group focused on using library databases to search for relevant sources. Picking up where that session left off, in this session, we will discuss strategies for analyzing, summarizing, and synthesizing research literature into a coherent discussion that lays the foundation for a SoTL project. Please feel free to share your own experiences and/or challenges with writing literature reviews.
