Applications now being accepted for From Scholarly Teaching to Research cohort

The Center for Teaching, Learning and Assessment (CTLA) at Ohio University supports faculty investigating the effectiveness of teaching practices through the From Scholarly Teaching to Research faculty development certification.

The program comprises five workshops over the spring semester 2027 designed to:

• Introduce faculty or instructional teams to this type of inquiry.
• Assist them to curate resources and conduct literature reviews.
• Equip them to conduct (or supporting their review of) qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
• Guide them from teaching problem identification to data collection and analysis.

All components of From Scholarly Teaching to Research will be offered in a hybrid format and recorded to accommodate course schedules with project development occurring along the way.

The actual project may be conducted during the following summer or fall semester. In addition to a $1,000 stipend, completers will leave the experience with a conference presentation proposal or a SoTL article draft to refine for submission to identified journals or other media. Applications for the spring cohort are due Oct. 1.

For additional information about the certification, visit the certification website.

• Applications may be submitted through this Qualtrics survey.

The application asks prospective participants to describe a teaching problem, challenge or area of interest and familiarity with SoTL/research methods (with all levels of expertise welcome).
