- 6th Annual Symposium on Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Banff, Alberta Canada November 12 - 14, 2015. This gathering of teacher/scholars is a practitioner’s conference dedicated to developing teaching and learning research, sharing initial findings, going public with results of completed projects, and building an extended scholarly community. In its 6th year, the conference annually draws together faculty, students, educational developers, and administrators interested in the systematic inquiry into teaching and learning. This year's conference featured four pre-conference workshops, a day and a half of concurrent sessions, a poster session, reception, and two plenary keynote...

- Are you preparing to teach online due to the coronavirus emergency, but need a place to start? One simple way to guide your planning is to think about online learning (like many forms of learning) as involving three key elements (Anderson, 2008): Student-Content, Student-Student, and Educator-Student interactions. This infographic illustrates these three interaction elements and provides related examples. References: Anderson, T. 2008. The theory and practice of online learning (Chapter 2, 2nd ed.).

- This chapter describes a multidisciplinary faculty self-study about reciprocity in service-learning. The study began with each co-author participating in a Decoding interview. We describe how Decoding combined with collaborative self-study had a positive impact on our teaching practice.

- The emerging field of SoTL is an inherently interdisciplinary endeavor, embracing a diverse range of research methods. It desires to be hospitable to a range of disciplinary differences in world views. However, the field lacks coherence in its conceptualization and communication. Ongoing debates in the community concern the use of theory, as well as definitional questions of what constitutes SoTL and the nature of its purpose. This article offers a framework for conceptualizing the field, which attempts to broadly delineate the available theories underlying and methodologies appropriate to studying teaching and learning, while intending to be hospitable to a broad range of diverse...

- This transcribed Decoding interview was part of a study conducted by the Decoding Faculty Learning Community at Mount Royal University. It is analyzed from multiple theoretical perspectives in an upcoming special issue of NDTL due for publication in 2017: Miller-Young, Janice, and Jennifer Boman, eds. (accepted.) Using the Decoding the Disciplines Framework for Learning Across Disciplines, New Directions for Teaching and Learning. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

- Description
- Scholars of teaching and learning around the world and in many disciplines have been using the Decoding the Disciplines process to make explicit the mental operations that students must master to succeed. Teachers, as experts in their disciplines, often hold this knowledge in tacit and implicit ways that are not easily accessible to novices, resulting in "bottlenecks" to learning. A key step towards addressing bottlenecks is a Decoding interview in which teachers uncover and unpack crucial thinking with the help of two interviewers outside their field. The interview can yield important insights for teachers, generate data for SoTL work, and also play an important role in developing the...

- Faculty learning in Global Service-Learning is an important area of research because understanding how faculty develop their practice is an important first step in improving student learning outcomes and relationships with community members. Enacting reciprocity in service-learning can be particularly troublesome because it requires faculty to learn to develop courses and partnerships in counternormative ways. This article reports on an approach to investigating and generating faculty learning, in our case about the threshold concept of reciprocity, through a group self-study process that included a new-to-the-field interview method developed for Decoding the Disciplines (Pace &...

- Description
- This chapter argues that expert practice is an inquiry which surfaces a hermeneutic relationship between theory, practice, and the world, with implications for new lines of questioning in the Decoding interview.

- “What brings you here today?” is a familiar question in a health clinic in Canada, but it may not be one that comes immediately to the mind of an internationally educated health professional. The way health professionals communicate with patients in their cultures can sound overly direct in Canadian clinics. “Why are you here?” would be typically asked to patients in settings such as the Ukraine and Egypt. A stepping stone that supports the understanding of linguistic appropriacy and the Canadian health care context is offered at the Languages Institute of Mount Royal University, Calgary. The Communication Skills for Health Professionals (CSHP) project teaches language and communication...
