مستخلص: The Creative Teaching and Learning Cooperative (CTLC) of Tulsa Junior College's Southeast Campus is working to establish a new research protocol reflective of the community college's instructional mission in higher education. This protocol is more collaborative than the traditional university paradigm which rewards faculty for writing and publishing. Although college faculty and students do publish, many other methods are employed to share results of daily classroom field research, including a Faculty Research Center, electronic mail discussion groups, lunch discussion sessions, a computerized adjunct survey, computer workshops, and yearly off-campus retreats offering roundtable discussions on topics for teachers. The CTLC is organized through problem-solving task forces that identify concerns in the teaching and learning environment, and 90% of the Campus' faculty and administration have voluntarily participated. The CTLC research protocol involves four steps: genesis, where a person or group awakens to research possibilities; immersion, the study stage; formulation, or the development of all the hypotheses, conclusions, creations, lectures, presentations, strategies, solutions, plans, paradigms from the study; and regeneration, where information is communicated to colleagues to confirm and validate. Although the CTLC has only been in existence for about 2 years, it has grown rapidly through faculty dedication and fast and efficient campus communication through voice mail and electronic mail.
