Registration is open for the webinar “Decoding Research Practices: Narrowing the Expert-Novice Gap”.It will take place on Thursday, February 13, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM CDT. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
Instructors’ expectations for student performance on research assignments are heavily influenced by their disciplinary expertise and their knowledge of academic research practices. However, because this knowledge may become tacit, instructors may have difficulty communicating their expectations to students. The Decoding the Disciplines model, developed by Joan Middendorf and David Pace, has been shown to help narrow the gap between expert and novice thinking by providing instructors with a seven-step process that they can follow to identify and model their own thinking and practice. This workshop will provide participants with an overview of the Decoding the Disciplines model and will demonstrate how participants can use this process to identify student learning bottlenecks related to research and help students move past these bottlenecks. This workshop is intended for course instructors, graduate teaching associates, instructional support staff, and librarians.
