Social sciences methodology, systematic review, humanities pedagogy
This project aims to conduct a large-scale review of pedagogical approaches applied in humanities disciplines. We will systematically do a search of existing research on this topic, code the existing research, and analyze that data to respond to our research questions. The main research question is: What pedagogical approaches and philosophies are adopted in humanities disciplines in higher education? The research assistants will form part of an interdisciplinary research group with Professors Lori Czerwionka (Spanish, Linguistics), Kirsten Davis (Engineering Education), Jerilyn Tinio (Libraries), and graduate students as well.
