Teaching as Inquiry

Afternoon Keynote by Shelagh Crooks

In this presentation I aim to focus on 4 questions:

• What does inquiry in teaching and learning look like?
• How does it get started?
• Why should we value it?
• What needs to happen in the university to bring teaching inquiry ‘out of the closet’ and into mainstream culture?

I will speak to each of these questions from the point of view of my own experience as a researcher in, and as a member of an active community of teaching inquirers.
