Workshop: Developing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Presenters: Dr Mick Healey (guest speaker) and Dr Maaike Engels (Talent and Grant coordinator)

Our interactive workshop delves into the evolving concept of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL ), discussing key issues such as identifying and addressing 'bottlenecks' to student learning and dealing with 'troublesome knowledge.' The presenters will aim to explore the meaning of terms like excellent/effective teaching, scholarly teaching, and the notion of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Additionally, we will examine specific examples of how institutions and disciplines are involved in SoTL and consider the role of engaging students in this process. The session will concentrate on various methods participants can use to engage with SoTL and develop SoTL projects. This workshop will be followed by a lunch, to which all participants are cordially invited.
