Funding Option C: Research in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Proposal Application Requirements and Review Process
The Research in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning application is a competitive funding opportunity for faculty who are involved in scholarly activities that examine and document teaching and learning in their classrooms for the purpose of improving their practice and sharing the information with colleagues. It is expected that the scholarly activities will involve systematic observation and documentation and ongoing cumulative intellectual inquiry in an attempt to refine teaching methods and effectiveness, explore new methods, or integrate teaching with research. The activity should produce a scholarly product that will be shared with peers through publishing or professional presentation.
Eligibility Criteria
Proposals submitted for funding may be for a scholarly activity consistent with the Mission of 木瓜影院. The proposal should be able to be completed during the academic year. The applicant/s must be a current regular faculty member. Full time faculty members are eligible for funding from $100-$1,750. Half-time faculty are eligible for funding from $100-$875. Only one application for funding may be submitted for a project. A faculty member may apply more than once for SOTL funding, but not for the same project.
