Description
In this rapidly changing teaching and learning environment, one of the most promising ways for faculty at institutions of higher education to improve their teaching is to capitalize upon their skills as researchers. This book is a step-by-step guide for doing research to inform and improve teaching and learning.
With background and instruction about how to engage in these methodologies-including historical analyses, qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods-the second edition of Doing Research to Improve Teaching and Learning discusses a process of working collaboratively and reflectively to improve one's teaching craft. Full of updated, authentic examples from research studies, student work and instructor reflections, this valuable resource equips faculty with the skills to collect and use data and evidence-based instructional methods in any college and university classroom.
