Three keys: 

  • Asking questions and developing hypotheses about teaching practices 
  • Collecting data/evidence: this step includes identifying the appropriate methodology)
  • Reflection, change, dissemination: reflecting on the teaching practices; making appropriate changes/improvements based on the collected data and evidence; and sharing with and receiving feedback from community, colleagues and students

Three motivations:

  • Enhanced student experience, engagement, and outcomes
  • Professional development and currency for faculty (ongoing reflection on and improvement of teaching practices)
  • Collective discourse and learning among colleagues
