\"\"<\/a>as part of the cirtl network<\/a> activities at vanderbilt, the cft co-sponsors the teaching-as-research (tar) fellows<\/a> program for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the stem (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields at vanderbilt. cirtl defines tar as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201cteaching-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.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

each fall, up to eight tar fellows are selected to conduct projects exploring aspects of undergraduate education in their disciplines. each fellow works with a faculty mentor, and each project typically focuses on an undergraduate course taught by that mentor.<\/p>\n

last month, the 2010-11 tar fellows presented their work at a poster session open to the vanderbilt community. here’s a list of their projects. their faculty mentors are listed in italics. click on the links to see their posters.<\/p>\n
