Registration Term 2 Workshop 25-26
Starting a SoTL/pedagogy research journey Workshop
Dr Kerry Dobbins, Academic Development Centre; Professor Richard Smith Applied Linguistics (SELCS)
What Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is, what SoTL activities may focus upon and how to evidence impacts of SoTL activities are important questions to consider together as a community. In this workshop, Kerry Dobbins from ADC will introduce guidance she has created to support colleagues in articulating their SoTL activity in promotion applications. Whilst primarily illuminating how SoTL may be evidenced within the Research and Scholarship Area of Activity, this guidance also aims to support communities building shared understandings about varied ways of approaching, sharing and creating impact from SoTL activities.
This workshop will also explore how colleagues can begin or deepen their engagement in pedagogic research, with participants reflecting on their own starting points and challenges. We’ll end by inviting participation in a new initiative intended to support cross‑disciplinary pedagogic inquiry across Social Sciences.
