OLTC20004 - Scholarship of Learning and Teaching

General Information

Unit Synopsis

In this unit, you will investigate a learning and teaching phenomenon of professional or personal relevance through the identification of a research problem. You will then undertake the process required for developing a formal research proposal, that being development of a research question, literature review, designing an appropriate method and examining ethical requirements. You will practice your presentation skills in a mock-conference established to provide you with peer review. Using Ernst Boyer’s four-part Scholarship of Learning and Teaching model as a guide, this Unit will broaden your understanding of what constitutes knowledge, evidence, practice and scholarship in learning and teaching.
