Harvard’s Derek Bok: Professors, Study Thine Own Teaching

Today’s Chronicle has notes from an interview with Derek Bok, former president of Harvard and author of the book Our Underachieving Colleges.

Faculty members deeply believe in experimentation, learning through trial and error, and gathering evidence, “but they do not apply these methods of inquiry to their own teaching,” Mr. Bok, who remains a professor of law at Harvard, said in an interview.

Do you research your teaching, or your students’ learning?  How?  What have you learned?
