1. March 12, 2015 Welcome to KTH Scholarship of Teaching and Learning confernce Theme: Daring and Sharing! KTH - School of Education and Communication in Engineering Science Website: http://www.kth.se/ece/avdelningen- for-larande/hogskolepedagogik/kthsotl

2. Warming up I had tea for breakfast. I have presented on a pedagogical conference before. I have sufficient resources to develop my teaching. I think teaching gives good payback career wise. It happens a lot of exciting stuff in the pedagogical field at KTH.

3. Why? The main purpose of this conference is for you to share your experiences and knowledge and to get inspired by your colleagues. A way to make teaching skills more visible and assessable in order to upgrade how teaching merits are valued.

4. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (Ashwin & Trigwell, 2004) Level Purpose of investigation Evidence gathering methods and conclusions will be Investigation results in 1 To inform oneselfVerified by self Personal knowledge 2 To inform a group within a shared context Verified by those within the same context Local knowledge 3 To inform a wider audience Verified by those outside that context Public knowledge

5. Seems tricky to balance the two…göras? From: Institutional strategies for linking research and teaching by Graham Gibbs, Exchange magazine issue 3, 4 December 2002 http://www.exchange.ac.uk/issue3_contents.asp http://www.exchange.ac.uk/issue3_contents.asp If there were equal emphasis on research and teaching it might be more positive for students and lecturers. "The most effective strategy for strengthening the teaching-research nexus is to stop neglecting teaching and to provide more opportunities for lecturers' research strengths to have an impact on teaching, by them actually interacting with students." Institutions also need to recognise and reward teaching.

6. How can you go even more public? Publish a paper! For example in Högre utbildning a Swedish peer reviewed journal. Contributions in Swedish, English, Danish and Norwegian (bokmål) are accepted. http://hogreutbildning.se

7. Types of contributions Articles. No more than 6000 words including the abstract. Research papers. A scholarly approach and contain a well-defined research question. Peer review. Best practice. No more than 2000 words including the abstract. Successful practices in and around teaching, based on an evaluation in some form and should be viable in a broader field than the author's own context and subject area. Reviewed by the editors. Research notes. Reflections. Debate. Book reviews. etc.
