Data collection would be via an online survey and key informant interviews, which can be completed anonymously. The research question is: What are the perspectives of students who have completed ETEC565A, and its \u00a0impact on their practice as educators?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peer Feedback*<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Below is a summary of the feedback my peers gave me. There are two aspects of the context in which I presented that merit mentioning:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At this particular session, the Beijing cohort were invited to participate<\/li>\n<li>Mine was the last presentation and, as a result, was a bit pressed time-wise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, therefore, the most common comment was \u201cspeaks too fast\u201d. And, to be fair, I tend to speak rather rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>As well, a number cited my use of Caffarella\u2019s definition of \u201ctransfer of learning\u201d (2002)\u2014how well students in professional program apply what they learn during a learning experience, particularly in the medium to long term. Several also said they\u2019d like to follow up with me about this literature. A number of persons\u2014both orally and on their forms\u2014pointed out that my research question is really two questions. Most of the forms had surface comments (examples: \u201cgreat job\u201d; \u201cthanks\u201d) or no qualitative feedback at all. Probably because of it being the last part of the day\u2019s agenda.

First was the value in preparing the presentation itself. I\u2019ve not had to \u201cpresent\u201d a research proposal since my graduate studies. Since the FCP has an interdisciplinary community working across various research paradigms, I had to use robust, precise, consumable language\u2014or least endeavoured to do so. As well, sticking to six slides compelled me to be concise and disciplined. I also benefitted from what others did before me, in terms of presentations. Seeing others present their work and respond to feedback was instructive.<\/p>\n<p>As well, there were numerous benefits of giving the presentation\u2014beyond the benefits of getting others\u2019 feedback in general. First, as most persons in the room were, more or less, focused on the same task, they were able to bring their current (or very recent) experiences to bear when consuming my presentation. Second, what quickly emerged was a discussion about what constitutes quality teaching: isn\u2019t that the central question of most SoTL research? Finally, their questions were often clearly informed by the literature we have all been reading as part of the program: my being able to see those connections inspired me to re-read a few key readings.<\/p>\n<p>I have subsequently completed two revisions of the primary data collection tool for my proposed study: the student survey (available in it\u2019s current format here). I hope to circulate this to a few stakeholders by the end of March. After that \u00a0I need to finalize the interview schedule, then it\u2019s BREB time.<\/p>\n<p>Overall this process of developing a SoTL project has taken much longer than I anticipated. While I still think having done graduate work in adult education has been a distinct advantage in terms of consuming and critically appraising SoTL literature and SoTL research reports, developing SoTL research competencies of my own has not evolved precisely as I envisioned it. Which is not a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reference<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Caffarella, Rosemary S.
