Scholarship of Teaching Workshop for 2001
From "Problem" to Publication: A Workshop On The Scholarship Of Teaching and Learning
Randy Bass, a faculty member in American Studies at Georgetown University, has written:
"In scholarship and research, having a "problem" is at the heart of the investigative process; it is the compound of the generative questions around which all creative and productive activity revolves. But in one's teaching, a "problem" is something you don't want to have, and if you have one, you probably want to fix it…How might we think of teaching practice, and the evidence of student learning, as problems to be investigated?"
The Center for Innovation in the Liberal Arts invites you to a two-day workshop on the scholarship of teaching and learning on May 31 and June 1. The workshop is funded in part by a grant from the Bush Foundation.
The workshop will be led by Laurie Richlin, who is Director of the Regional Lilly Conferences on College and University Teaching, Executive Editor of the Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, and President of the International Alliance of Teacher Scholars. One of her recent publications is "Scholarly Teaching and the Scholarship of Teaching," in The Scholarship of Teaching (New Directions in Teaching and Learning Series, Jossey Bass, 2000). Laurie will introduce participants to the latest work on the scholarship of teaching, and will help us think about how questions about teaching and learning can be constructed as problems to be investigated.
The workshop will open at 9:00 am on May 31 and will conclude at 3:00 pm on June 1. Workshop participants will receive a stipend of $300.
