Description:
We invite
faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students, novices to experts, to
participate in an interactive workshop that focuses on identifying teaching
challenges, developing and critiquing learning objectives and assessments, and
implementing active learning strategies in science courses and curricula. We
will work with multiple kinds of assessments including diagnostic questions
about understanding and attitudes, technology-based tools, and problem-based
assessments. Assessment data informs future instructional decisions and can also
suggest pathways for research. We will examine appropriate research designs and
methodologies, analyses, and issues about human subjects. By the end of the
workshop, participants should be able to design and conduct a study about
learning in their own classroom that moves them towards approaches similar to
those used in peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Frontiers in
Ecology or Bioscience. We will also examine sources of funding and designs for
competitive proposals in undergraduate education. Please bring goals/objectives
and assessments for your courses.
