In the Fall of 2023, the following full-time, ongoing teaching faculty were awarded CATL Teaching and Learning Grants.
Anne Marie Iselin – Associate Professor of Psychology
Iselin will participate in Applied Compassion Training (ACT) from Stanford University and then will develop a capstone project that implements science-based instructional practices in higher education. With this certification, she will integrate compassion practices into teaching, facilitate webinars, present at conferences and consult with colleagues about applying compassion into their higher education work.
CJ Fleming – Associate Professor of Psychology
Fleming will conduct a two-part study evaluating faculty engagement with work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences such as internships, field placements, etc. She, with a team of scholars through the Center for Engaged Learning, will conduct interviews with international faculty investigating motivators, barriers, and facilitators to participation in WIL, and will use a survey with faculty to explore the use of the Faculty Engagement Model in WIL.
Courtney Liu – Assistant Professor of Performing Arts
Liu will be overseeing six students who will participate in an interdisciplinary research opportunity that connects the disciplines of dance, psychology and neuroscience, and builds skills transferrable to the health sciences. Using electroencephalography technology, students will track their brain activity during flow dance rehearsals and a performance at the 2024 SURF Day.
Chris Nelson – Assistant Professor of Marketing
Nelson will study the impact of real-time artificial intelligence coaching on students’ sales behaviors. Using both field and lab experiments with students, he will explore how immediate AI-generated feedback helps students perform during role-playing exercises and students’ perceptions of how AI impacts their learning.
Hwayeon Ryu – Assistant Professor of Mathematics
Ryu will explore and assess the effectiveness of project-based learning on critical thinking skills in her MTH 4450 Numerical Analysis course through the use of real-world problems and project-based writing. Students will be asked to complete pre- and post-surveys that measure self-efficacy with, and perceptions towards, critical thinking.
Congratulations to these recipients and we wish you success with your work.
The next call for Teaching and Learning Grant applications will be in early April 2024.
