  1. Involving Faculty in Peer Reviewing of SoTL Manuscripts Gregg Wentzell Managing Editor, Journal on Excellence in College Teaching Center for the Enhancement of Learning & Teaching Miami University Oxford, OH 45056 513-529-9265 wentzegw@muohio.edu http://celt.muohio.edu/ject/

  2. Reviewing Two SoTL Submissions Please take out and look over your responses to the two sample manuscripts I e-mailed to you.

  3. Within-Group Discussion of Your Reviews (10 minutes) Discuss among your group the results of your reviews of the two manuscripts: • What did the author do well? • What could be improved? • What feedback would you give to the author? • What would your recommendation be, and why?

  4. Groups Report Out: Discussion (10 minutes) • What did the author do well? • What could be improved? • What feedback would you give to the author? • What would your recommendation be, and why?

  5. Qualities of Successful SoTL Submissions(The Scholarly Process) Successful paper proposals and manuscripts should • define the problem clearly • indicate why it was a problem • establish a baseline • include context of what others have done • show an openness to consider various possible solutions • provide evidence of change, assessment of results, not just “we liked it”

  6. The Biggest Single Difference . . . ...between SoTL and other articles on teaching is EVIDENCE (i.e., data or other results).

  7. Assessment: How Do You Know Your Project Made a Difference? • Pre- and post-surveys of student reaction • Retention • Evidence in your journal (so keep one) • More discussion by students (count) • Better exams/papers/projects • Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) • Student portfolios showcasing their work • Classroom assessment techniques • Teaching Goals Inventory (TGI)(www.uiowa.edu/~centeach/tgi/) • Small-Group Instructional Diagnosis (SGID)

  8. Discussion How can/should we involve faculty in SoTL?

  9. Involving Faculty in SoTL: The Miami U. Model Five Components: Community, and the resulting support for and peer review of projects through group meetings; Scholarly teaching--time to reflect on teaching and investigate and implement a project (FLC members receive one-course release time); Experience with and advice about undertaking scholarly investigations (senior faculty mentors); Potential SoTL (teaching projects); and Venue(s) for making the SoTL public (campus presentations/retreats and the Lilly Conferences.
