Open Classrooms provide an opportunity to observe ‘teaching in action’ and approaches to successful teaching in different settings. You’re invited to attend, observe and participate in a short informal discussion with the educator after the teaching session to unpack the approaches used and why. Suitable for novice through to experienced educators.

Researching teaching and learning – getting started

When: Friday 8 April, 9:30am–12:30pm

Those of us who are involved in education often have questions about our teaching and learning practices. For example, how do students learn in a particular context? How do they put knowledge into practice? What are the impacts of specific teaching or assessment approaches?
Asking and seeking to answer such questions forms the basis of what we refer to as the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). SoTL can take many different forms and includes undertaking research in education.
In this workshop, we provide a practical introduction to educational research within a health context. This interactive session will also feature a panel discussion with members of the CMPH community who are currently undertaking (or have recently undertaken) educational research in different teaching programs and contexts.
