[Foundations] HERDSA Guide Conducting Tutorials

[Allan Goody]

Greetings everyone.

 

I hope people don't mind that I am using this list to promote a publication
but .. (stop reading further if you do).

 

Just a reminder as you plan your Foundations programs for the year that the
HERDSA Guide Conducting Tutorials (2nd edition) is now available.  It is a
great resource and has been used by a number of Foundations programs as a
text for participants.

 

This Guide as well as all HERDSA Guides which are short and practical is
available at www.herdsa.org.au <http://www.herdsa.org.au/>  under
publications.

 

Details of the Conducting Tutorials Guide are below. 

 

A member of the Foundations community Kathryn Sutherland is a co-author of
the Guide.

 

Cheers

Allan

 

Conducting tutorials, 2nd edition (2009)
Jacqueline Lublin & Kathryn Sutherland
Conducting Tutorials addresses the common experiences of tutors and students
in a variety of group learning situations. This second edition of HERDSAs
best-selling guide has been redeveloped around the framework of the
characteristics of scholarly work, identified by Charles Glassick and
colleagues: Clear goals, Adequate Preparation, Appropriate Methods,
Effective Presentation, Significant Results, and Reflective Critique. It
offers research-informed perspectives and practical advice on, for example,
how to approach the first tutorial or how to deal with silence, combined
with discussion of the underlying attitudes and expectations of tutors and
students which affect their behaviour in groups. The relationship between
the way in which a tutorial is structured and the appropriate or
inappropriate learning processes which are thereby encouraged is discussed,
and possibilities and strategies are given.
