Writing about Teaching Workshop 4: Structuring an Empirical Article

Are you interested in writing about your teaching but don’t know where to start—or how to make the time? Would you like to take the next step in your scholarship around teaching in community with fellow instructors?

Join us for our Writing about Teaching Workshops this spring. Each 90-minute interactive session will provide guidance and structured time to advance your writing, followed by an additional optional 90-minute work time.

Attend one or all—whatever fits your schedule and goals! Whether you have data to share as part of a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) or Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) project or would like to write a scholarly narrative around teaching, this is the place for you.

In this session, participants will break down the key sections of an empirical teaching and learning paper, from introduction to conclusion, and explore how to create a well-aligned empirical manuscript that balances depth and clarity through guided analysis of published articles. Participants will also have dedicated time to start drafting or refining sections of their own manuscript. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of empirical article structures and a strong starting point for their writing.

Please note that if we don't have enough participants, we will cancel the session.
