Start Date
8-18-2020 12:00 AM
Description
This panel will explore how research partnerships between librarians and discipline faculty at USU can inform pedagogy by providing instructors insight into learner experiences. This session centers research in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) at the heart of evidence-based and inclusive teaching, highlighting three examples from a range of disciplines and research designs. The first project was a survey-based assessment of changes in undergraduates' understandings of and attitudes toward research in all sections of the required Human Development & Family Studies methods course in an academic year. The second project was a pilot study of using an open access textbook in a technical communication course. he third project was a systematic review of learning outcomes related to argumentation based pedagogies, with implications for engineering educators in K-12 and undergraduate settings. In addition to discussing the details and major findings of each of their projects, panelists will reflect on the collaborative process of designing, conducting, and sharing their research as discipline faculty and librarian teams.
