This workshop is an opportunity for hands-on investigation into quantitative and qualitative research methods in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL).
More specifically, the workshop focuses on an on-going SoTL project regarding feminist identity development. By using the research project as a case study, the aim is to actively engage participants in both research methods. The idea is to have participants critically reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of both methodologies.
A breakdown of the workshop:
1) 10 minute introduction to our quantitative study on feminist identity development
2) 5 minutes to write poetry as a qualitative method of research
3) 5 minutes to share poetry with class, trying to identify if the poems fit on the feminist identity development scale
4) 5 minutes-questions
