Plenary Session 1, 9:15-10:30 am (Black
and Gold Rooms, Buntrock Commons, St. Olaf College)
"Learning
about Thinking and Thinking about Learning: What do our students
need to know?"
Karl Wirth, Macalester College; Dexter Perkins, University of
North Dakota
In
this session the presenters consider the following questions:
What do we know about learning (and about teaching) today that
we didn't know yesterday or last year, or 10 or 100 years ago,
and how has it changed the way we teach? Shouldn't we be sharing
this information with our students to help them understand why
we do what we do in our classroom, and to help hem develop self
reflection and metacognitive skills? If so, how can we best do
this? This will be an interactive session, involving small group
discussion and plenary summation.
Karl
R. Wirth (Associate Professor of Geology, Macalester College),
received his undergraduate training in geology at Beloit College
and a PhD from Cornell University (1991). His research involves
undergraduate students and utilizes geochemical and geochronologic
tools to investigate magmatism associated with continental rifts,
oceanic islands, and Precambrian terranes. Recently, his scholarship
has broadened to include teaching, learning, and instructional
methods.
Dexter
Perkins (Professor of Geology, University of North
Dakota), received his BS at the University of Rochester and PhD
from the University of Michigan (1980). During the past 30 years,
Dexter has published many articles dealing with thermodynamics
and metamorphic petrology and has written two text books. Many
of Dexter's recent publications, however, deal with science education.
Dexter enjoys field work and especially enjoys taking students
into the field.
Plenary Session 2, 10:45 am-12:00 pm (Block and Gold Rooms,
Buntrock Commons, St. Olaf College)
"Making
it Public: Strategies and Opportunities for Publishing the Scholarship
of Teaching and Learning," Richard Gale, The
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching; John Habel,
Western Carolina University; Cathy Manduca, Science Education
Resource Center
The
speakers in this session will provide a discussion of some of
the many ways that work in the scholarship of teaching and learning
is being "made public."
Richard
Gale (Senior Scholar, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching) directs the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship
of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) Higher Education Program and
works with the Integrative Learning Project. He was selected as
a Carnegie Scholar for 2000, and he is a founding member of the
International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
(ISSOTL). He is an internationally recognized speaker on the scholarship
of teaching and learning.
John
Habel (Associate Professor of Psychology, Western Carolina
University) is Editor-in-Chief of MountainRise, an open,
peer-reviewed, international electronic journal that is dedicated
to publishing work in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
The journal published its first issue in 2003. He is also a Senior
Faculty Fellow for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at
Western Carolina's Coulter Faculty Center.
Dr. Cathryn A. Manduca is director of the Science Education
Resource center at Carleton College. SERC engages in projects
that support effective science education nation-wide with a special
focus on undergraduate earth-science education. Current projects
include the "On the Cutting Edge" professional development
program for geoscience faculty which combines workshops and websites
to bring new research results (in education and geoscience) into
mainstream geoscience teaching; development of digital library
collections that link together teaching materials with information
on their effective use; and development of small communities that
produce websites addressing themes of high interest to geoscience
faculty. She is chair of the American Geophysical Union Committee
on Education and Human Resources, a past- president of the National
Association of Geoscience Teachers and editor of a new book Earth
and Mind: How Geologists Think and Learn About the Earth.
