Visions: The Dance Most Of All: Envisioning An Embodied Eighteenth-Century Studies, Susannah Sanford, Sofia Prado Huggins

ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830

The editors introduce this special issue of ABO, highlighting the work of the authors included in the issue. The introduction draws on recent scholarship re-visioning the work of the long, “undisciplined” eighteenth century, arguing for an eighteenth-century studies that embodies our intersectional identities and honors the experiences of bodyminds surrounding texts and authors, as well as the bodyminds that interact with those texts in the present. Throughout the years, scholars have demonstrated that there is no single vision of what eighteenth-century scholarship is or should be, but rather multiple visions. This introduction urges scholars to consider how an eighteenth-century studies …

Getting Started With Pbl—A Reflection, Tanja Müller, Thomas Henning

Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning

In this paper, we provide insight into the PBL project called PoLiMINT (Problem-oriented Learning in MINT). The project is located at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences and aims to introduce and foster PBL in the introductory phase of a physics study program. Concerning our general conditions, we will present our incremental implementation strategy and address the first elementary steps. In order to demonstrate our Scholarship of Teaching and Learning mode of reflecting the implementation process, we examine selected instructional and pedagogical difficulties and our problem-solving more closely.

1.0.A Daily Outline, Chris F. Bauer

Day 01 Jan 20 Introduction to inquiry. Temperature perception.

WELCOME to WINDOWS on the INQUIRY CLASSROOM!

You have landed on a piece of a National Science Foundation Project (DUE 1245730) directed by Professor Chris Bauer, Chemistry Department, University of New Hampshire. This is one part of a completely documented inquiry-based university science course called “Fire & Ice” which explores the nature of heat and temperature. There are multiple video perspectives and commentary from instructors and students, and documents of all course materials (agenda, instructions, student work). It’s too complicated to explain here. Take a look at the user orientation document at this link.

Week Two Introduction, Judith Longfield

Teaching Academy

After discussing how preconceptions and misconceptions interfere with students' learning, we will learn steps for planning a lesson. We will also discuss ways to uncover students' ideas using classroom assessment techniques, or CATs, and create concepts maps of Chapter 2.

Week Four Introduction, Judith Longfield

Teaching Academy

After reviewing Chapter 4 with a jigsaw activity, we will revisit lesson planning by using a rubric to evaluate two different plans. We also learned how to use low tech "clickers" and discuss the students' inertia including ways to overcome it using simulations and other teaching strategies. If there is time, we will talk about Just in Time Teaching (JiTT), a technique to get students to read.

Week Five Introduction, Judith Longfield

Teaching Academy

After investigating hazardous classroom materials, we will learn about diverse students and how to teach them. We will also write learning biographies for different students and used them to consider a variety of teaching-learning issues, including college student development. In addition, we will shared our CAT implementation reports and discuss the impact of classroom climate on student learning.

Week Six Introduction, Judith Longfield

Teaching Academy

In addition to exchanging ideas or activities on how to overcome misconceptions and learning bottlenecks, there is a readiness assessment test or RAT, and we will learn about multiple choice tests. We will also revisit lesson planning briefly and critique a quiz.

Lesson Planning Introduction, Judith Longfield

Teaching Academy

You have been added to this online workshop because you were unable to participate in the face-to-face version. Due to the manner in which this session is being delivered, you will be unable to actively participant with others. However, every attempt to "capture" the essential elements of the face-to-face version has been made. During this online session you will "dissect" a sample lesson in order to identify its parts, and learn a process you can use to plan lessons. You will also have the option to submit your lesson plan for review.

Week Seven Introduction, Judith Longfield

Teaching Academy

Partners provided each other with meaningful feedback on their syllabi and also exchanged lesson plans. In addition, test analysis skills were revised and we discussed common concerns related to grading. A rubric or scoring guide was also used to grade an essay test question in literature or geography.

Week Eight Introduction, Judith Longfield

Teaching Academy

We used what we have learned about smart teaching to provide advice to the instructor in a YouTube video, and then identified causes of and solutions for common disruptive behaviors. We ended the series with a "Thought Museum" activity and an assessment of the Teaching Academy.

Week Three Introduction, Judith Longfield

Teaching Academy

After revisiting CATs and lesson planning, we will learn about additional teaching idea sources. We will then discuss motivation, illustrate a Chapter 3 concept, and learn ways to salt students' food before applying these ideas to our own lessons and assignments which are not currently motivating.
