Join a SoTL Project
Are you interested in joining a research project in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning? This page includes a list of SoTL projects where I am looking for interested partners, whether as active research collaborators or "host instructors."
The first list of topics are course-based research projects currently paused in search of host courses (experimental and/or control). If you would be interested in collaborating on one of the topics below, please CONTACT ME:
- "The Jigsaw Two-Step" - a group presentation with follow-up group assignment (integrating group work with innovative assessment practices
- "Peer review assignments" and student confidence in giving feedback
- Case-driven integrated course design (streamlining lesson plans and student writing assignments in lecture-based courses)
- "Real world research methods" writing assignments for undergraduate research methods courses
- "Citing with Purpose" - including a workshop-style discussion of the role of citation to improve student attentiveness to citation
-
Note: I will be looking for participant/partner classrooms in AY 2023-2024 to test innovative assessment methods for courses that integrate a variety of simulations, games, debates, carousels, and other active learning techniques
In addition to these specific projects, I am generally interested in the following issues in teaching and learning. Please CONTACT ME if you would be interested in discussing a potential collaboration in these or other topics:
-
Integration of self- and peer-evaluation frameworks into courses
-
Understanding signature pedagogies and curricula in "Canadian" International Relations
-
Threshold concepts in political science and International Relations
-
Unique experiences and pedagogical supports for "Early Career Instructors"
-
Attitudes towards assessment, evaluation, and active learning among university instructors
-
Active learning, including: active learning techniques and activities for in-class use, active learning online (especially connections between active learning principles and asynchronous online learning), and active learning classrooms
