Requirements for Participation

Academic Teaching and Biblical Studies


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Academic Teaching and Biblical Studies Section is interested in papers and presentations in two areas:
1) A Workshop on Interactive Teaching and Learning Technologies
Web 2.0 is the label applied to a raft of new technologies that encourage user-generated content and collaboration. If Web 1.0 was akin to a lecture (with one person addressing their audience), web 2.0 is akin to a discussion. This session will be a workshop exploring how these technologies (wikis, discussion boards, Blackboard/Moodle, Skype, etc.) can be used to facilitate student learning. Rather than formal papers, this workshop will allow those experienced in web 2.0 technologies to help other SBL members explore them. Everyone will BYOL (Bring your own Laptop) and facilitators will lead small group discussions and hands-on training.
If you would be interested in presenting / facilitating discussion of a particular piece of technology, please explain how you use some Web 2.0 technology to enhance student learning in your classes.


2) We are soliciting papers or presentations on the theme “Applications of Teaching and Learning Philosophies.” Please consider answering in your paper or presentation the following questions: What is your philosophy of teaching (what is the role of the teacher)? What is your philosophy of learning (what is the role of the learner)? How have your applied your philosophy of teaching and learning in the classroom (or other teaching and learning settings)? What were the results? What are the best practices you have discovered for applying your philosophy of teaching and learning? How has your philosophy of teaching and learning evolved over your career?
