How Do We Start? Creating Equitable Undergraduate Degrees through Integrating and Scaffolding Research Throughout Curricula
Wednesday, October 16th, 2024
10 am – 11 am Pacific | 11 am – 12 pm Mountain | 12-1 pm Central | 1-2 pm Eastern
Presenters: Mitchell Malachowski, University of San Diego; Jeffrey Osborn, The College of New Jersey; Jillian Kinzie, Indiana University; Elizabeth Ambos, Ambos Consulting
Overview
Panelists will share lessons learned from a six-year, longitudinal research study on how best to build the high-impact practice of undergraduate research into undergraduate degree programs. A key synthetic outcome of the project is the volume: "Transforming Academic Culture and Curriculum: Integrating and Scaffolding Research Throughout Undergraduate Education". A tool-kit of materials to support curricular and cultural transformations is free to download and use. We will focus on the first stage of the change process, which is to ask the right questions. Each participant will receive access to the project's How Ready Are We to Transform? questionnaire. We will discuss questions that help diagnose readiness, identify potential barriers to change, and recommend solutions to deal with setbacks.
Goals
- Empowering faculty, staff, and administrators engaged in curricular and cultural change to build more equitable pathways for student success.
- Building a better understanding of exactly how, why and with whom change processes should start.
- Providing research-based insights to the change process, particularly for faculty and administrators engaged in departmental/institutional change.
- Equipping participants with strategies and tools to effect change and deal with challenges.
Audience
Higher education faculty members, graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, staff members, and administrators working on aspects of systemic change in undergraduate education. Faculty members and students engaged in undergraduate research, directors of undergraduate research and/or experiential learning offices.
