Faculty Development Grant

from the Bush Foundation

Nov 2002 - Nov 2005

Augustana College
Sioux Falls, SD

Faculty Development Grant Proposal

2. Teaching and learning (pedagogy)

2d. 2-3 projects per summer for research programs specifically supporting undergraduate research with particular emphasis on student learning outcomes from student research projects

Program Strategy

2d. Across the life of this project, the college will generate 2-3 projects per summer for research programs specifically supporting undergraduate research with particular emphasis on student learning outcomes from student research projects. We expect at least 2 faculty & 2 students per summer, coordinating Bush support with ARAF or external support.

Evaluation Activities

Faculty receiving these grants will generate, as part of the proposal, a statement of potential impact on student learning for their projects. Each summer project will then conduct a student learning analysis including appropriate baseline and appropriate "after-treatment" measures along with appropriate (and available) external measures for their project, i.e., an evaluative look at the final product for each summer research project.

Specific Intended Outcomes

This goal will have been met when:

1. There is increased summer research opportunities for faculty and students.

2. Participation in the Augustana Symposium and the presentation of research at off-campus meetings is encouraged and results in more student presentations.

3. Student learning is enhanced in terms of an appreciation of the importance of scholarly work.
