Description

Many faculty approach a new teaching semester by trying out a different pedagogical technique because they predict the change will improve the teaching and learning experience. Are you interested in finding out whether a pedagogical change will improve your students’ learning? If so, then join your colleagues for a discussion about any aspect of planning, executing, or publishing a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project. Prospective and experienced ‘SoTLers’ are welcome, as we explore a book that can both introduce the SoTL field and offer some of the latest ideas in related research.

In this session, we’ll discuss the first two chapters of the recently published book, SoTL Research Methodologies: A Guide to Conceptualizing and Conducting the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning by Yeo et al., 2024. We’ll focus on Chapter 1, Understanding SoTL, pp. 3-13, and Chapter 2, Developing SoTL Inquiries, pp. 14-34.
