The Western Psychologist

Research/Writing Workshop on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

 The Society for the Teaching of Psychology announces the first STP writing workshop for faculty who would like to learn more about the process of developing and/or writing a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project. SoTL is defined as methodologically rigorous scholarly work conducted to enhance teaching and advance learning, ideally resulting in peer-reviewed products made public.

 The workshop will allow a small select group of faculty members to receive guidance on SoTL research from an experienced mentor and consult with both statistical and publication experts.  Each participant will be placed with a mentor and a team of 3-4 peers.  The mentor will support participants through the research process, which may include discussing ideas or analyzing, outlining, and writing a final product.  The ultimate goal is to generate a complete manuscript.

This workshop will be held in conjunction with the STP Best Practices Conference<http://teachpsych.org/conferences/bp/index.php> on October 14-15, 2011, in Atlanta, GA.  The cost of the workshop is $100 in addition to the conference registration fee which is heavily discounted for you as you will use some conference session time for your project work.  Mentors will work with their team before the conference to prepare for the workshop as well as Friday morning and Saturday afternoon.

Please complete an application<http://uwgreenbay.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8pRJNZvLzXo6GwY>; no payment is required at this time. Applications are due by May 30th, 2011.  For questions or more information/details please contact the Chair of the writing workshop, Janie Wilson (jhwilson@georgiasouthern.edu<mailto:jhwilson@georgiasouthern.edu>).
