Research and Scholarship

Research & Scholarly Activity

At Medicine Hat College, we embrace, support, and celebrate the diversity of scholarly activity that is possible at a Comprehensive Community College.  

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) aims to improve student outcomes by exploring the impact and effectiveness of teaching practices. Research avenues in SoTL include investigations of technology-enhanced learning approaches and of how to create positive changes in pedagogy. Discipline-specific student learning inquiries can be conducted in partnership with students and are subject to research ethics approval. SoTL results should also be disseminated and there are several local, provincial, national and international societies dedicated to supporting SoTL that offer opportunities for conference participation and publication in peer-reviewed journals. 

Research Awards

Medicine Hat College has created three new awards to promote and celebrate its academic successes in areas that contribute to MHC and/or the region. These awards are conferred to college faculty for research in a particular discipline of study, teaching and learning, and scholarship.
