Description
Signature
pedagogies - teaching methods distinctive to specific disciplines - embody the
core ideas, values, assumptions, and habits of mind held by expert
practitioners. Ideally, these pedagogies help to make such tacit expert
knowledge explicit to students, thus preparing them to enter professional
practice. But as instructors, we may not always be fully conscious of our
expert knowledge, so we are not able to harness the full power of these
pedagogies and make it available to students. In this session, we invite
faculty in the arts, humanities, and social sciences to explore the signature
pedagogies of their disciplines through critical readings. We will gather to
discuss and critique the notion of signature pedagogies and how it applies in
our own teaching. Readings and lunch will be provided.
