The goal of this series is to provide an opportunity for our community to explore the SoTL literature in a group setting\, both to find practical applications to implement in the classroom and to inform our own SoTL projects.Articles in this series are selected by instructors within our SoTL community\, and these papers are a starting point to explore and examine one research study. Facilitators provide discussion prompts to guide and engage us in conversations that will resonate across all disciplines and SoTL experience levels.Facilitators:Tara Black\, Assistant Professor\, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social WorkAlex Rennet\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Mathematical and Computational Sciences\, UTMArticle:Jensen\, J.\, Smith\, C. M.\, Bowers\, R.\, Kaloi\, M.\, Ogden\, T. H.\, Parry\, K. A.\, Payne\, J. S.\, Fife\, P. & Holt\, E. (2022). Asynchronous Online Instruction Leads to Learning Gaps When Compared to a Flipped Classroom. Journal of Science Education and Technology\, 31(6)\, 718-729. [Library Permalink (https://librarysearch.library.utoronto.ca/permalink/01UTORONTO_INST/fedca1/cdi_eric_primary_EJ1351286)] \nDiscussion Prompts: \n1. The authors cite various meta-analyses (p719-720) that suggest a “positive trend for online instruction” (versus traditional instruction). But the results of the paper seem to show the opposite. Does this surprise you? How does it line up with your own experience teaching online and in-person?2. What did you think of how the authors of this study attempted to address confounding variables\, such as instructor-as-researcher\, and student self-selection into course delivery modalities? Were there any confounding variables that they neither addressed nor controlled for?  Do you worry about these same variables in your own SoTL work? Have you found ways to get around them?3. The authors raise Social Presence Theory in their discussion (p 726)\, noting that faculty and peer interactions could be a significant driver of the disparity in student performance they observed.  Are you familiar with SPT? If so\, have you applied it in your teaching (esp. of non-in-person modalities\, recently or during the pandemic)?  Do you think that SPT plays a crucial role in students’ performance in a course delivered in non-traditional modes\, or do you think there are other factors at play that are at least as important?CTSI Staff:Cora McCloy\, PhD\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, SoTL Kyle Turner\, MSc\, Faculty Liaison\, Teaching and LearningPlease email kyle.turner@utoronto.ca (mailto:%20kyle.turner@utoronto.ca) with any questions about this event.We invite you to enroll in the SoTL Hub (https://q.utoronto.ca/enroll/R7PRJ4) on Quercus to access materials (https://q.utoronto.ca/courses/214089/pages/programming) from this and other series.

They represent a tremendous diversity resource if we create opportunities for them. While many Chinese students perform well academically\, those with very low proficiency levels struggle. Chinese students are likely overrepresented\, along with other equity-deserving groups in plagiarism charges (Eaton\, 2022; Friesen\, 2023) but their language burden seems under-represented in institutional data and practice. What might be some inequity issues we need to consider?We will share some useful insights that we have gained through supporting students with extremely low proficiency in the Reading and Writing Excellence (RWE) program by implementing Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (Huo & Khoo\, 2022) that can inform our roundtable discussion on pedagogy for active learning so that more students with language limitations can participate with necessary institutional support to help them overcome their initial barriers. We will also collaboratively reflect on our future course design and scaffold for academic integrity practice in this roundtable.Learning Outcomes:By attending this roundtable\, participants will• become aware of research-based and practice-based evidence of Chinese students’ challenges\, aspirations\, and potential to contribute/engage• learn how to create learning experiences in their courses to encourage more student transformation from “powerless” to “empowered”• understand culturally responsive pedagogy and the application of anti-deficit mindset• learn about harnessing differences as strengths and promoting equity and interactional diversityNOTE: You will be asked to answer additional questions when registering. \nEaton\, S.

The main goal of this series is to engage participants with SoTL practices by sharing their projects\, ideas and questions. UTSC faculty members and librarians who are currently engaged in SoTL activities will each take 5-10 minutes to speak about their work. It is not necessary to have attended the preceding sessions to attend this one. \n\n\n\nFacilitator: \n\n\n\nDr. Zohreh Shahbazi\, Acting Associate Dean\, Teaching and Learning/Acting Director\, CTL \n\n\n\nREGISTER URL:https://teachingdev.lamp4.utoronto.ca/event/the-scholarship-of-teaching-and-learning-sotl-circle-session-3/ CATEGORIES:University of Toronto Scarborough END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
