Teaching and Learning in Higher Education - Third Level Education University College Cork

Overview

Teachers will identify a research topic to pursue and will write a publishable paper for a specific teaching and learning journal in their own disciplinary area or in the broader educational field of the scholarship of teaching and learning. The focus of the Teaching and Learning in Higher Education - Third Level Education  MA is to encourage you to identify with your teaching an inquiry process, to peer review your teaching, to network with peers interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning, and to publish in this field.

• Identify and apply principles of a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) approach in the college classroom;

• Peer review your teaching within a SoTL community;
