Reflection to Action: The Visiting Scholars’ SoTL-LD
Knowledge and Practices
UTLC Training Programme
@UUM, UTLC OYASB
April 21-22, 2014
Training Synopsis
 Promoting a global learning climate in UMM demands practitioners who
pursue and nurture the potentials of the increasing population of diverse
(foreign and local) learners. This 2-day training provides a realistic
platform where different perspectives borne out from the diverse
experiences of visiting academician-practitioners with the end purpose of
creating an integrative culture built around inclusion-oriented teaching
and learning across disciplines. In view of the tenets of SoTL, participants
will consciously process and examine their personal and professional
attitudes, behaviors and practices when working with UUM learners.
Factors of primary importance are strategies that they themselves utilize
and continuously refine as they respond to the direction and pace of
institutional change.
Training Outcomes
At the end of the training, the participants should be able to:
 articulate reflective thoughts and practices with respect to the
principles of LD (equity, equality, integration, and inclusion)
 display affirmative action in responding to current concerns and
issues in handling learners in diverse classes
 carry out an inclusive-driven instructional plan of action into
current teaching assignment/s
 Malaysia’s vision: Educational Hub
(National Development Plan, 2010-2020)The entry &
employment of
academic
experts in
Malaysia is
bound by
national
mandates
Internationalization Policy (MOHE, 2011)
Institutional Policy (10% foreign teaching force
if international students abound )
What brings & binds visiting scholars to MHEIs?
Professional scholars
(Higher Education Practitioners)
Teach: content/subject matter
experts
Publish: Public Intellectuals
Research: Reflective practitioners
& innovation experts
(field of expertise)
Source: MOE Development Thrust, 2014
How are these mandates translated into VS’ professional roles?
UTLC-UUM’s Maiden Initiative…
 To create a synergetic T & L platform for visiting scholars (VS)
 To chart VS initiatives & exemplary practices in teaching
diverse students/classes
 To showcase VS exemplary practices in teaching diverse students
(global classrooms)
How must UUM move to ORBIT around MOE’s “I” thrust?
 Why must UUM showcase the VS?
 As VS, what attributes and experiences make YOU unique in the system?
 How can VS make a “profound contribution” in UUM’s T & L culture?
UUM visiting scholars’ response…
 What challenges lie ahead this SoTL initiative?
Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
(SoTL): VS T & L Synergetic Platform
“Public sharing”: Community of Learners
What is SoTL?
- A scholarly inquiry into student
learning which advances the
practice of teaching by making
research findings public.

Student
learning
Reflective
Practitioners
 systematically analyse evidences of student learning;
 situate their work within existing literature;
 collaborate with other faculty both within or across disciplines; and,
 contribute to the body of knowledge about teaching and learning by
dissemination of their *research findings though appropriate, and
often times innovative means
* e.g.Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (JoSoTL, 2001)
Simply, SoTL enables practitioners to:
What do SoTL experts define reflection?
 “Learning from experience” (Spalding, 1998)
 “Systematic, critical and creative thinking about action with the
intention of understanding its roots and processes” (Fish &
Twinn,1997)
 “Thoughtful deliberation” (Tickle, 1994)
SoTL covers 3 Stages:
• The learning opportunity
• The information gathering and critical analysis
• The changed perspective (Spalding,1998)

Task and learning cycles in operation
I went through the learning cycle many times, each time arriving back at another
problem having solved one. I was very aware that as I progress over the three weeks, one
does not go around the cycle before another problem appears. More problems can arise when
reflecting and conceptualizing. I learned that provided I completed the cycle with each
problem, it was possible to deal with more than one problem at once. One problem or
learning opportunity cannot be kept separate from others, as Minzberg suggested when
he talked about the variety of tasks completed by a manager in a day. I was constantly
dealing with a variety of problems and using different skills and learning styles to deal
with them.

LEARNER DIVERSITY
Refers to the identity encompassing a wide range of
characteristics, including gender, linguistic background, socio-
economic situation, family life, religion, interests, physical or
emotional challenges, skills and abilities, motivation and life
experiences of a learner
Source: Paine, 2007
LEARNER DIVERSITY
is characterized by a TRANSFORMATION
( taking place in a learner)
as a result of PEDAGOGICAL PROCESSES
(learning)
and from which the FORMATION of new frames of
understanding,
ways of meaning,
capacities to act ,
& expressions of identity EMERGE.
Our Inner voices…
For the past 9 teaching weeks, what
course of actions/practices have you
rendered that are worth replicating &
sharing? Why?
EQUALIZATION: same conduct in communication & contact,
quantity or values for all individual & groups to ensure that they
experience equal opportunities , treatment, & welfare ( Hyland,
2010; Lappalainen, 2009)
EQUITY: ideas of fairness and social justice which may challenge
the dominant group in order to provide different treatment or
special measures (Hyland, 2010; Sarra, 2008). It’s a principle that
enables every learner get access to fair, just and non-
discriminatory education & care
INTEGRATION: process or status of interweaving a diverse
community of learners that transforms their lives through a
comprehensive & synergetic approach (Kumra & Manfredi, 2012)
INCLUSION: way of thinking, an orientation, an ideology, a set of
practices, or policies that fosters attention to human rights,
respect for differences, & values of diversity (Cushner, 2009).

  • 1. Reflection to Action: The Visiting Scholars’ SoTL-LD Knowledge and Practices UTLC Training Programme @UUM, UTLC OYASB April 21-22, 2014
  • 2. Training Synopsis  Promoting a global learning climate in UMM demands practitioners who pursue and nurture the potentials of the increasing population of diverse (foreign and local) learners. This 2-day training provides a realistic platform where different perspectives borne out from the diverse experiences of visiting academician-practitioners with the end purpose of creating an integrative culture built around inclusion-oriented teaching and learning across disciplines. In view of the tenets of SoTL, participants will consciously process and examine their personal and professional attitudes, behaviors and practices when working with UUM learners. Factors of primary importance are strategies that they themselves utilize and continuously refine as they respond to the direction and pace of institutional change.
  • 3. Training Outcomes At the end of the training, the participants should be able to:  articulate reflective thoughts and practices with respect to the principles of LD (equity, equality, integration, and inclusion)  display affirmative action in responding to current concerns and issues in handling learners in diverse classes  carry out an inclusive-driven instructional plan of action into current teaching assignment/s
  • 4.  Malaysia’s vision: Educational Hub (National Development Plan, 2010-2020)The entry & employment of academic experts in Malaysia is bound by national mandates Internationalization Policy (MOHE, 2011) Institutional Policy (10% foreign teaching force if international students abound ) What brings & binds visiting scholars to MHEIs?
  • 5. Professional scholars (Higher Education Practitioners) Teach: content/subject matter experts Publish: Public Intellectuals Research: Reflective practitioners & innovation experts (field of expertise) Source: MOE Development Thrust, 2014 How are these mandates translated into VS’ professional roles?
  • 6. UTLC-UUM’s Maiden Initiative…  To create a synergetic T & L platform for visiting scholars (VS)  To chart VS initiatives & exemplary practices in teaching diverse students/classes  To showcase VS exemplary practices in teaching diverse students (global classrooms) How must UUM move to ORBIT around MOE’s “I” thrust?
  • 7.  Why must UUM showcase the VS?  As VS, what attributes and experiences make YOU unique in the system?  How can VS make a “profound contribution” in UUM’s T & L culture? UUM visiting scholars’ response…  What challenges lie ahead this SoTL initiative?
  • 8.

Teaching practice Student learning Reflective Practitioners
  • 9.  systematically analyse evidences of student learning;  situate their work within existing literature;  collaborate with other faculty both within or across disciplines; and,  contribute to the body of knowledge about teaching and learning by dissemination of their *research findings though appropriate, and often times innovative means * e.g.Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (JoSoTL, 2001) Simply, SoTL enables practitioners to:
  • 10. What do SoTL experts define reflection?  “Learning from experience” (Spalding, 1998)  “Systematic, critical and creative thinking about action with the intention of understanding its roots and processes” (Fish & Twinn,1997)  “Thoughtful deliberation” (Tickle, 1994) SoTL covers 3 Stages: • The learning opportunity • The information gathering and critical analysis • The changed perspective (Spalding,1998)
  • 11. How does RP SoTL work? Source: Reid Gibbs, 1994 Gibb’s Reflective Cycle What happened? (description) Reflectivity What was good/bad about the experience? (evaluation) How can you make sense of what happened? (analysis) What were you thinking/feeling? (feeling) What would you do if it happened again? (action plan) What alternatives did you have?

  • 13. Samples of Practitioners’ Reflections “Input Bombardment Exercise” Information covered? Stimulation of new ideas? Opportunity to learn? Critical thoughts?
  • 14. Task and learning cycles in operation I went through the learning cycle many times, each time arriving back at another problem having solved one. I was very aware that as I progress over the three weeks, one does not go around the cycle before another problem appears. More problems can arise when reflecting and conceptualizing. I learned that provided I completed the cycle with each problem, it was possible to deal with more than one problem at once. One problem or learning opportunity cannot be kept separate from others, as Minzberg suggested when he talked about the variety of tasks completed by a manager in a day. I was constantly dealing with a variety of problems and using different skills and learning styles to deal with them.
