Research-Based Changes in the Classroom

Why educational research? Are we teachers or scientists? Both? Have you

ever wanted to make changes in your classroom or department? Everyone,

in any content area, can utilize the research process to improve procedures,

instructional methods, performance, retention and engagement! On the

other hand, research-based, verified data can unarguably prove some

techniques are not in the best interests of our faculty or students.

Educators often publish projects in order to share their findings. This

workshop is also invaluable in preparing you for success in research

projects, proposals, and in preparing a project for presentation. Upon

successful completion of this course, participants will be able to: Understand the significance and value of scientific inquiry and solid research-

based data in enhancing the learning or departmental environment

Try out the components of successful, sound research methods

Take away a step-by-step approach to research methodology

iMPACT: A Service Learning Seminar

This course introduces the concept of deliberative service learning—

a pedagogical method for high student impact and greater civic

engagement. The marriage between deliberative pedagogy and service-

learning is a compelling union to introduce students to high-impact learning

experiences, cultivate civic responsibility and agency, and further the skills

needed to realize the promise of their education—the power to effect

change. This course broaches these topics, offering basic concepts with a

focus on the practical matters of using deliberative service learning across

disciplines.

Topic areas may include service as a foundation for broader civic

engagement, deliberative dialogue, service ethics and practical logistics,

leadership and character development, community-classroom partnerships

and relationship building, and the use of live event learning. Throughout

the course, participants will be designing their own service learning

blueprint (including points of entry, connections to course specific learning

outcomes, community partnerships, logistics/procedures, and assessment)

and, as a culminating experience, will present this blueprint to the other

participants in the course.
