SoTL and the New Normal: Understanding and Enhancing Teaching and Learning

内容简介

Over the past decade, student-centered teaching has become increasingly common in higher education as research demonstrates its efficacy. The pandemic broke the momentum toward active learning and relationship-rich pedagogies as institutions switched abruptly to fully online education. Despite the pain of that disruption, the pandemic also challenged many entrenched habits, beliefs, and practices in the academy, providing an unusual opportunity to reimagine what higher education teaching and learning could and should be in the future. In this talk, I will explore the ways the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) can support faculty to look inward at their own teaching to help them better understand both their students and the learning that is (or is not) happening in their courses. SoTL’s approach to learning-centered critical inquiry is an essential component of creating a new normal of teaching and learning that lives up to the promise of higher education to prepare students for work and life in a dynamic, complex world.
