Registration is open for the webinar “Teaching Research Practices: Narrowing the Expert-Novice Gap”. It will take place on Thursday, September 18, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM CDT.
Instructors’ expectations for student performance on research assignments is heavily influenced by their disciplinary expertise and their knowledge of academic research practices. Because this knowledge may become tacit, however, instructors may have difficulty effectively teaching research practices and processes to more novice learners.
The Decoding the Disciplines model, developed by Joan Middendorf and David Pace, has been shown to help narrow the gap between expert and novice thinking by providing instructors with a seven-step process that they can follow to identify and model their own thinking and practice. This workshop will provide participants with an overview of the Decoding the Disciplines model and will demonstrate how participants can use this process to identify student learning bottlenecks related to research and develop strategies for helping students move past these bottlenecks.
The presenter is Jane Hammons, Teaching & Learning Engagement Librarian at The Ohio State University.
