20th Improving Student Learning Symposium hosted by
the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development (OCSLD)
IMPROVING STUDENT LEARNING - THROUGH RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP
29 - 31 AUGUST 2012
Lund University, Lund, Sweden
2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
We hope that the theme for this symposium - "through research and scholarship" - will challenge
contributors to reflect back on what we have learnt over the past two decades or would want to claim we now understand about student learning, and the research evidence that supports it.

BACKGROUND
In 1993, the first Improving Student Learning Symposium was held at
Warwick University in the UK. Since then it has become an established
event on the international calendar, with up to 200 participants from
over 15 countries at each conference. The major aim of the Improving
Student Learning Symposia is to provide a forum which brings together
those who are primarily researchers into learning in higher education
and those who are primarily practitioners concerned more pragmatically
with improving their practice, but from whichever starting point,
papers are only accepted if they take a sufficiently scholarly,
research-based approach.
