The Office of Faculty Enhancement is pleased to announce its 2nd Annual Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Symposium. The Symposium will be held on Wednesday, April 15th, 2015. The SoTL Symposium will be held in conjunction with the 2015 Research Week (April 13th-17th), highlighting faculty and student research and scholarship at UNF.
The theme for this year’s SoTL Symposium is “Spanning Boundaries.” Teaching
effectively and learning much often requires both teachers and learners to
reach across conceptual, relational, and social boundaries that often constrain
thinking and understanding. When educators encourage students to reach across
those boundaries, and when educators reach across those boundaries themselves,
educators and students discover that significant learning and transformational
learning is possible.
Call for Proposals:
The Office of Faculty Enhancement invites proposals for the 2nd
Annual Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Symposium that fit the
theme of “Spanning Boundaries.”
Proposals addressing international education, community-based learning,
transformational learning, interdisciplinary approaches, and other innovative
teaching strategies are encouraged.
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is the systematic
investigation of questions related to teaching and student
learning characterized by clear goals, adequate preparation,
appropriate methods, outstanding results, effective communication, and a
reflective critique.
In sum, SoTL is about bringing a scholarly approach to
teaching practice and student learning.
The deadline for submitting 250 word summaries HAS BEEN EXTENDED to February 17th, 2015.
