October 28th SoTL Journal Club

The CTSI-SoTL team is excited to continue the monthly Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Journal Club Series through Fall-Winter 2022-23. The goal of this series is to provide an opportunity for our community to explore the SoTL literature in a group setting, both to find practical applications to implement in the classroom and to inform our own SoTL projects.

Articles in this series are selected by instructors within our SoTL community, and these papers are a starting point to explore and examine one research study. Facilitators provide discussion prompts to guide and engage us in conversations that will resonate across all disciplines and SoTL experience levels.

Facilitators:
Zohreh Shahbazi, Associate Professor, Teaching Stream, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, UTSC
Suzanne Wood, Associate Professor, Teaching Stream, Psychology, Faculty of Arts & Science

Article:
Daly, S. R., Mosyjowski, E. A., & Seifert, C. M. (2019). Teaching Creative Process across Disciplines. The Journal of Creative Behavior, 53(1), 5-17. [Library Permalink]

Discussion Prompts:

1. In your teaching, what approaches do you take todevelop students’ creative skills? Do your approaches overlap with the 14themes presented in the article, or do you have others that were not described?
2. Creativity can be challenging to study. How do youassess the methods used to obtain these data? Would you use the same ordifferent methods if you were to design a study on teaching creativity?
3. Many of the 14 themes described in the paper arenot unique to teaching creativity. Are there other instructional themes andtechniques that you believe could be added to this list? What creative themesdo you want to explore further in your own teaching?
