Dear all
Potential contributors to a session on Teaching and Learning
Archaeozoology are invited to contact me. Details of the session are on
the ICAZ web site: http://www.dur.ac.uk/icaz.2002/sessions/teaching.html
and repeated below. Please will you pass on details to others you think
might be interested, particularly those countries other than the UK.
Teaching and Learning Archaeozoology
Many of the archaeozoologists attending this conference will be both
researchers and teachers, and yet it is very unlikely that they will
have ever presented, or written about, their approaches to teaching
their subject. Inspiring, guiding and training students at undergraduate
and postgraduate level are all fundamental aspects of our discipline,
crucial to its life and future development. This session will provide
the opportunity for teachers to reflect on their philosophy of, and
approaches to, teaching and learning, to examine the synergy between
research and teaching, and to discuss what makes effective and relevant
teaching in archaeozoology.
Possible topics for detailed discussion might include:
· integrating archaeozoology teaching and learning within the
archaeological curriculum
· designing teaching collections and resources
· the potential of the web and computer-based approaches to
teaching and learning in archaeozoology
· developing students' practical, analytical and research skills
in archaeozoology
· training archaeozoologists or archaeologists: specialists or
generalists?
· learning to be a researcher or learning the skills for
employment?
· the influence of different national academic cultures on the
archaeozoology curriculum and teaching and learning styles.
Offers of other topics are encouraged, but the subject matter should be
of broad international relevance. Colleagues are also encouraged to
offer posters that present a teaching case study or specific examples of
teaching and learning resources.
Colleagues interesting in contributing to this session should contact:
