Upcoming Society for Natural Sciences SoTL project networking meeting

When: Tuesday 16th April, 2024

Where: University of Birmingham

One of the aims of the Society for Natural Sciences is to support developments in STEM teaching and learning through applied research. As practitioners we have direct access to the classroom and hence the opportunities to implement and evaluate theoretical ideas in practice. Through this event we aim to establish a collaborative approach to applied research in teaching and learning that will allow us to research teaching developments (for example AI in teaching, group work, teaching coding to scientists) across different contexts and with larger cohorts, and ultimately to provide increased evidence and impact than that in a single institution. To initiate such collaborations, we would like to bring interested parties together in a face-to-face meeting in order to stimulate parallel discussions on topics for joint development.

This event is open to all STEM educators who are members of the Society for Natural Sciences. (We are happy to support projects that fall outside the curriculum of a Natural Sciences degree programme but have relevance to STEM HE education).

Note: there may support for travel from the Society. If this is a barrier to attending, please email pedr@socnatsci.org for more information.
