Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Teaching as Research (TAR)
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu3
At the core of improving teaching and learning is the need
to accurately determine what students have learned as a result of
teaching practices. This is a research problem, to which STEM
instructors can effectively apply their research skills and ways of
knowing. In so doing, STEM instructors themselves become the
agents for change in STEM teaching and learning.
Teaching-as-Research involves the deliberate, systematic,
and reflective use of research methods to develop and implement
teaching practices that advance the learning experiences and
outcomes of students and teachers.

Research informs the

what to use again (or

Helps instructors become
better educators.
9. Active learning increases student performance
in science, engineering and mathematics[4]
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu9
Meta-analysis of 225 research studies that explored the
impact of active learning:
Active learning engages students in the process of learning
through activities and/or discussions in class,as opposed to
passively listening to an expert.It emphasizes higher-order
thinking and often involves group work.
(Freeman et al., pp 8413-8414)

11. What can you study?
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu11
Students’ attitudes
what are they initially?
(e.g., what are students’ views on academic integrity?)
how did they change after you did X?
(e.g., what do students think about learning goals?)
Students’ knowledge and skills
what are students able to do now that they couldn’t do
before taking the course?
are students thinking more like experts?
(e.g. what questions do they ask in lab/discussion?)
12. Common education research tools
Quantitative Qualitative
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu
What is happening? Why is it happening?
Multiple choice tests (pre- and post-testing?)

14. Can You Solve This?
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu14
Beware of confirmation bias: the
tendency to search for, interpret,
or recall information in a way that
confirms one's beliefs or
hypotheses.[8]
(Educator’s point-of-view:When did learning happen?)
15. How do you think the students felt?
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu15
Suppose you were a student in one of the active learning
classes included in the meta-analysis by Freeman et al.[4]
Do you think that research would have any impact on your
experiences and/or success in that class?
A) yes
B) no
16. How do you think the students felt?
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu16
Suppose you were a student in one of the Biology or
Computer Science classes asked to complete the sentence,
“For me, the use of learning goals in this course is . . .” for
the study by Simon andTaylor about the value of course-
specific learning goals.
Do you think that experiment would have any impact on
your experiences and/or success in that class?
A) yes
B) no
17. Imagine this…
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu17
Professor Smith teaches 2 sections of the same course.
Section 1 is an active classroom using peer instruction
(clickers). Section 2 is a traditional lecture. Both Sections
take the same final exam. Professor Smith analyzes the
students’ grades to investigate the impact of active learning.
Do you think this experiment had any impact on the success
and/or experiences of students in Section 1, Section 2?
A) yes, yes
B) yes, no
C) no, yes
D) no, no
18. If you suspect your research could impact students physical
well-being, privacy, or success, you should speak with your
IRB. The IRB may insist you apply for approval or
suggest you apply for an exemption from IRB review.
Humans are involved in TAR
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu18
Mission of the Institutional Review
Board (IRB):
1. Protection of human subjects from
physical harm.
2. Protection of students’ privacy and
students’ success.
19. IRB at your institution?
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu19
Take 5 minutes to find
1. the name of the organization that handles human
subjects research approval (it’s probably not the “IRB”)
2. what research activities are exempt from IRB approval?
3. which exemption(s) do you think apply to teaching-
as-research? (you’re going to copy-and-paste that
exemption onto our whiteboard later so keep the
window/tab open)
See you back here in 5 minutes.
21. Use the textbox tool to copy-n-paste
an exemption applicable to TAR
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu21
22. UC San Diego IRB
grants exemptions to…
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu22
(1) Research conducted in established or commonly accepted educational
settings, involving normal educational practices, such as (i) research on
regular and special education instructional strategies, or (ii) research on
the effectiveness of or the comparison among instructional techniques,
curricula,or classroom management methods.[5]
Things a scholarly, reflective instructor
might and should do anyway.
23. Involve your Center for Teaching
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu23
Before you apply for an exemption, check with your local
Center forTeaching. (At UC San Diego, we have a blanket
exemption for projects studying active learning, as long as
the Center is involved.)
24. A full inquiry cycle of TAR
Teaching as research - collegeclassroom.ucsd.edu24
1. Learning foundational knowledge
2. Creating objectives for student learning
3. Developing an hypothesis for practices to achieve the
learning objectives
4. Defining measures of success
5. Developing and implementing teaching practices
within an experimental design
6. Collecting and analyzing data
7. Reflecting, evaluating, and iterating
