Meeting: 2018 Institute on Teaching and Learning, Physiology Educator's Community of Practice Fellowships

科学教育工作者从持续的专业发展中受益，在课堂上学习和实施基于证据的教学、学习和评估实践。为此，美国生理学会召开了两年一次的教学与学习研究所，为高等教育工作者提供一个机会，分享有关改善科学教学和学习的教育研究和最佳实践。今年的学院将于2018年6月18日至22日在威斯康星州麦迪逊举行。该项目将支持20名生理教育工作者参加该研究所，并参加为期一年的生理教育工作者实践社区，该社区参与在线专业发展活动，包括讨论小组和关于教学和学习奖学金的在线课程。该奖学金将支持学员（研究生和博士后）、早期职业教育工作者、社区学院教职员工，以及来自代表性不足群体或少数族裔服务机构的教职员工参与2018年的教学与学习研究所。该研究所将讨论诸如教学最佳实践、教学和学习奖学金、将研究融入本科课堂以及活动评估等主题。计划在学院演讲的人中有一半以上是女性，10%以上是代表性不足的群体的成员。该奖学金的候选人将是美国生理学会（APA）的现任会员，他们将提交会议摘要和奖学金申请。由来自不同机构类型的教师和APA代表组成的组织委员会将审查申请并选择奖学金获得者。研究员将参加2018年的教学与学习研究所，并在随后的一年中参与专业发展活动。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Science educators benefit from ongoing professional development to learn about and implement evidence-based practices in teaching, learning, and assessment in their classrooms. To this end, the American Physiological Society convenes a biennial Institute on Teaching and Learning to provide postsecondary educators an opportunity to share education research and best practices relating to improving science teaching and learning. This year's institute will be held June 18-22, 2018 in Madison, Wisconsin. This project will support twenty physiology educators to attend the Institute and to participate in a year-long immersion in the Physiology Educators Community of Practice, which engages in online professional development activities including discussion groups and online courses about the scholarship of teaching and learning.The fellowships will support the participation of trainees (graduate students and postdocs), early career educators, community college faculty, and faculty from underrepresented groups or minority-serving institutions in the 2018 Institute of Teaching and Learning. The Institute will address topics such as best practices in teaching, scholarship of teaching and learning, integrating research into undergraduate classrooms, and assessment of activities. More than half of the planned institute speakers are female, and more than 10% are members of underrepresented groups. Candidates for the fellowship will be current members of the American Physiological Society (APA), who submit an abstract for the meeting and a fellowship application. An organizing committee, comprised of faculty from different institutional types and representatives of the APA, will review applications and select fellowship recipients. Fellows will be expected to attend the 2018 Institute of Teaching and Learning and to participate in professional development activities throughout the subsequent year.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
