An Introduction to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) uses systematic and methodological inquiry into teaching and learning (behaviours/practices, attitudes, and values) with the goal of improving teaching and learning by making findings public (Hutchings, & Shulman, 1999; Potter & Kustra, 2011).

During this session, we will:

• Break down the definition of SoTL,
• Explain how to start the journey of becoming a SoTL practitioner,
• Provide tips to overcome common challenges for initiating a SoTL project.

Facilitators:

• Adriana Briseno-Garzon, Senior Manager: Research and Evaluation
• Natasha Pestonji-Dixon, PhD, Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Facilitator, CTLT
