How do you distinguish between scholarly teaching and the scholarship of teaching?
Purpose of scholarly
teaching is to have an impact on teaching and
learning
SoTL results in formal, peer-
reviewed work that becomes
part of the larger knowledge base on teaching and
learning

How do you know if a work is scholarly?
Requires a high level of disciplinary expertise
Charts new territory or is innovative
Provides enough detail to be replicated
Provides documentation of what was done and what was found
Can be peer-reviewed
Can be judged as being significant or impacting the discipline

Are the goals of the research
articulated, and are they clear?
Is there a demonstrable
understanding of the literature?
Does the scholar possess the skills
to conduct the research?
Are the methods appropriate to the goals,
and the research question?
Do the results make a significant
contribution to the literature?
Does the scholar critically evaluate
the work in a manner that will
improve it?

Steps in the SoTL Process
Generate the research question
Design the study
Collect the data
Analyze the data
Present and publish your work

Brainstorm as many ideas as you can consider in 5 minutes
Transform your hunches and ideas about teaching and learning into research questions that can be answered empirically.

What does it take to come up with a good research question?
Time
Thoughtful analysis of your own interests and practical constraints
A thorough review of the literature (in multiple disciplines)
Feedback from trusted colleagues
