Madison Teaching & Learning Excellence Faculty Learning Community : Teaching & Learning Principles

We use this text frequently in MTLE to explore the research base behind effective teaching. The case studies in this book are especially useful discussion and reflection tools as well.

A classic, research-rich resource that spans cultivating a welcoming learning environment, assessment design, and documenting and evaluating teaching effectiveness.

An updated version of a resource that has long been a staple for many who teach writing and critical thinking skills. In addition to excellent, research-based guidance, this text provides many examples of authentic assessments and rubrics.

Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy begin with a framework describing why explicit attention to structure enhances inclusiveness in both course design and interactions with and between students. Inclusive Teaching then provides practical ways to include more voices in a series of contexts: when giving instructions for group work and class activities, holding office hours, communicating with students, and more. The authors finish with an opportunity for the reader to reflect on what evidence to include in a teaching dossier that demonstrates inclusive practices.

This text informs the critical reflection processes we engage with regularly in MTLE. The revised second edition includes new chapters on critical reflection in the context of social media, teaching race and racism, and team teaching as critical reflection.

Exploring 28 key works on learning and teaching, chosen from the fields of educational psychology and cognitive psychology, the book offers a roadmap of key research about how learning happens. Each chapter examines a different work and explains its significance before describing the research, its implications for practice, how it can be used in the classroom, and takeaways for instructors.

Introducing 30 seminal works from the field of education psychology research, the learning sciences, and teaching effectiveness studies, each chapter takes an important work and illustrates clearly and concisely what the research means and how it can be used in practice.

In this updated edition of a practical and popular resource, Fink discusses new research on how people learn, provides examples of active learning in in-person and online context, and explores the impact of student engagement on student learning.

Evidence-based practices for online teaching, online course design, and student motivation.
