Gaining a better understanding through inquiry of the complex ways in which students learn, or the impact of teaching on students' learning, will ultimately result in improved quality in teaching and the engagement in the SoTL. T he aim of this session is to look into academic instruction practices by means of reflective teaching to confirm negative or positive actions that advance or obstruct the quality of student learning. Outcomes of the session are to share: 1) results of an action inquiry into reflective teaching to improve quality in teaching and learning, and 2) the reflective teaching framework that was developed as a formative tool in identifying areas where teaching can be improved and as a summative tool in judging the quality of teaching. Attendees will learn about appropriate reflective practices to engage in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
