Definition

The “Is SoTL Right for You?” assessment asks you a series of questions to help you determine whether you might find the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning to be a good professional fit.

Purpose and Goal

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is a specialized form of research that delves deeply into how students learn within and across disciplines. Reading about SoTL studies and keeping up with new findings is an effective way to maintain a scholarly approach to teaching. Beyond reading SoTL studies, however, many instructors find conducting SoTL studies themselves beneficial. SoTL is time-intensive, however, so it is a good idea to consider carefully whether you might find it a useful way to engage in teaching

The “Is SoTL right for you?” self-assessment is designed to help you gauge whether you might find conducting SoTL beneficial. Use this assessment as a starting place in considering whether to conduct a SoTL study of your own.
