Rock On! Band Together To Fight Hunger: Results From A Food Insecurity Awareness Project, April Tallant

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

The purpose of this research was to evaluate a service-learning project conducted at a public university in the southern United States of America. A sample of 46 undergraduates enrolled in two sections of a liberal studies personal nutrition seminar course participated in a food insecurity awareness project. The service-learning component entailed volunteering at a community kitchen. In addition, students planned, organized and implemented a band concert fundraiser for a regional food bank. Students designed tee-shirts, fliers, and concert tickets. Classroom components of the project included assigned readings, seminar questions, quiz and discussion, and a guest speaker. Students completed a survey …

Personal Reflection: Reflections On Sotl By A Casual Lecturer: Personal Benefits, Long-Term Challenges, Kerry Dobbins

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

I have just completed my second year as a casual lecturer and have enjoyed engaging in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). However, my casual status has brought a number of challenges to ensuring my SoTL work has both long term and institutional impact. As the trend for casualisation in higher education continues across the world, I believe that the potential detriment it can cause to SoTL needs to be addressed by the SoTL community. This paper describes firstly a SoTL project I have carried out using a wiki-based assessment method. Secondly, it presents my reflections on the difficulties …

Internationalization Of A Faculty Sotl Program: Immersion Experiences Of Beijing Professors In A Canadian Research-Intensive University, Baohua Wang, Junfang Peng, Marion L. Pearson, Harry Hubball

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

This essay describes an international exchange program at the University of British Columbia (UBC) for a cohort of faculty from the Bilingual Training Program (BTP) of the Beijing Teachers Training Center for Higher Education (BTTCHE). The Beijing professors’ cohort participated in an adapted version of UBC’s Faculty Certificate Program on Teaching and Learning (FCP), which provided them with an immersion experience designed to improve their English language skills and to enhance their understanding of key concepts pertaining to the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) within and across disciplinary contexts. Critical reflections from both participants’ and instructors’ perspectives suggest that …

Students Who Aren't Prepared For College Find Less Value In Books And Lecture Than Students Who Are Prepared, Jeffrey B. Henriques, Lyrissa I. Kusse

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Students in three sections of introductory psychology, N = 1051, were asked about the utility of traditional, e.g. instructor, lectures and textbook, and nontraditional, e.g., clickers, podcasts and online lecture slides, teaching tools. Students who felt unprepared for college (25.9%) differed from their peers in their perceived utility of these tools. Both groups of students reported that novel teaching tools were less helpful than traditional teaching tools and while there was no group difference in the perceived usefulness of the novel tools, underprepared students found traditional teaching tools to be less helpful than did prepared students. When the individual tools …

Higher Education Research And The Scholarship Of Teaching And Learning: The Pursuit Of Excellence, Angela Brew

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Excerpt: The scholarship of teaching and learning includes many activities all of which are focused on critically reflecting on teaching and learning in some way. In the last 10 years or so I have worked at two different universities in Australia both of which have devised ways of rewarding scholarly activities related to teaching. These activities take the form of a) engaging in sustained study and gaining qualifications in teaching in higher education, b) being in receipt of institutional and/or national awards for teaching excellence and c) presenting scholarly work on higher education teaching and learning in conferences and journals. …

Instructors' Decisions That Integrate Inquiry Teaching Into Undergraduate Courses: How Do I Make This Fit?, Iris Alkaher, Erin Dolan

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

In this qualitative study, we describe and characterize the pedagogical decisions that three college instructors made to mitigate challenges they faced as they taught by inquiry, as well as the rationale for their decisions and their perceptions of the efficacy of their decisions. We found that instructors made a range of decisions, including reorganizing course content and structure, adding more opportunities for and models of inquiry practice, adding more opportunities for feedback and assessment, and enhancing scaffolding of the inquiry. Notably, single instructional decisions had the capacity to mitigate multiple challenges. The instructors were satisfied with many of their decisions, …

Revealing Student Thinking About Experimental Design And The Roles Of Control Experiments, Jia Shi, Joy M. Power, Michael W. Klymkowsky

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Well-designed “controls” distinguish experimental from non-experimental studies. Surprisingly, we found that a high percentage of students had difficulty identifying control experiments even after completing three university-level laboratory courses. To address this issue, we designed and ran a revised cell biology lab course in which students participated in weekly “experimental control exercises.” To measure student understanding of control experiments, we developed a set of assessment questions; these were given to students prior to and following completion of either a standard cell biology lab course or the revised cell biology lab course. Not unexpectedly, the results indicate that the revised course led …
