The Use of Learning Contracts as Potential Equity Blueprints in Undergraduate Research Mentorship
It is well known that high quality Undergraduate Research (UR) mentoring leads to better outcomes for faculty and students. In recent years, interest in the best practices faculty use for mentoring has increased. One pedagogical tool that has not received a lot of investigation is the use of Learning Contracts (LCs) within undergraduate research and how they might provide an equity-minded lens to this teaching context. We present initial insights…
Empowering Teaching Through Contextualized Student Feedback
Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs) are a ubiquitous institutional tool for capturing student feedback, yet they often function as tokenistic, end-of-course mechanisms that fail to support meaningful pedagogical development. This paper shares a critical reflection of the traditional SET model and proposes a new approach to a time-old tradition. Grounded in the Students as Partners (SaP) framework, we propose a reimagining of SETs centered on f…
What and How
Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) have been a longstanding form of data intended to provide feedback on teaching from the student perspective. Little work has been done prior to this study to systematically explore how SET data is applied as part of research on teaching and learning and how/what data is being used in this form of scholarship. Through a scoping review of 223 studies and a survey with individuals engaging in research on teachi…

A variety of systemic approaches are needed to address undergraduate mental wellness, including pedagogies of wellness through which faculty create restorative learning spaces that buffer students against negative mental health outcomes. Mindfulness practices and exposure to natural environments hav…
