ETPP 2016 - Workshop: Evidence Based Teaching Principles and Practice

Aimed at those interested in improving their teaching practice from the known literature in engineering education. The target audience ranges from the new instructor to experienced, senior faculty interested in advancing the quality of the teaching practice. This workshop provides an overview of relevant research literature, and provides participants with hands on advice on choice of research approaches, data collection methods, and analysis techniques in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Engineering.
The workshop consists of presentations, group discussions and review of case studies in the engineering education literature. Workshop activities and materials are drawn from engineering faculty development courses in engineering education offered at Uppsala University, Sweden since 2010. Registration and additional information available soon on the registration page.
Workshop Participants Will:
Acquire portfolio of best practices in STEM education
Read and discuss selected articles from the STEM higher education research literature
Review models for systematic investigation of learning phenomena
Reflect on application of STEM education theories to their own teaching
Result: equipped to conduct evidence based innovation and evaluation
