SoTL Workshop Series

The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning is calling for the submission of proposals by any UCF full-time faculty member who has an interest in designing and implementing a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) research project (see http://www.fctl.ucf.edu/sotl/).  

Up to ten faculty will participate in five workshops and a minimum of one individual consultation (18 contact hours): three workshops during the spring semester of 2010, one workshop during the summer semester of 2010, one workshop during the fall semester of 2010, and participation in the SoTL showcase in 2011. Except for the spring 2010 semester, the workshop schedule will be agreed upon by the participants. The individual consultation(s) will be scheduled at the convenience of the participants and researchers/FCTL staff. Faculty members will receive support from FCTL staff and UCF researchers as they develop and implement their SoTL projects. By completing the spring and summer 2010 workshops and producing an IRB-approved research plan, faculty will receive a $500 grant.  Upon completion of the remainder of the workshops, consultation(s) and the delivery of a final project report and poster at the Faculty Research Showcase during the spring 2011 semester, faculty will receive a second $500 grant.   The participants will also become part of an ongoing research project on effective teaching and learning through the Faculty Center. Faculty will be requested to share data on the effectiveness of activities and environments on student learning for potential joint publication. If you have questions, please contact the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning at 407-823-3544 or e-mail Eric Main at emain@mail.ucf.edu.

The proposal must contain

1. Title of the research project, Principle Investigator (PI) and Co-PIs (if needed)
2. Details of the research to be performed including the research question
3. Identify resources needed for successful completion of the research project

Faculty who are unsure of their research question are invited to contact us prior to the proposal deadline for assistance with formulating their research interests into a question.
