SoTL related to Educational Research
"... aims to bring a scholarly lens—
the curiosity, the inquiry, the
rigor, the disciplinary variety-to
what happens in the classroom...
[It] begins with intellectual
curiosity, is conducted
deliberately and systematically, is
grounded in an analysis of some
evidence, and results in findings
shared with peers to be reviewed
and to expand a knowledge base."
(Nancy Chick, Vanderbilt Center
for Teaching).
Reasons for pursuing educational
research:
• Examine your classroom practice
through a systematic process of inquiry.
• Record successes and failures with the
goal of improving student learning and
teaching practice.
• Reflect on findings in relation to
existing educational research literature.
• Validate your teaching practice and
build theory relating to educational
approaches.
• Share and disseminate experiences to
build upon what we know about teaching
and learning processes

identity as a
scholar
• Belonging to a

Editor's Notes

  1.   In this article, South Africans Bitzer and Albertyn briefly discuss various approaches to supervision beyond the traditional one-on-one method. They then provide a planning tool which allows for the negotiation of who would be responsible for supporting the student through which aspects of the research journey: the supervisor, the research group, the expert or the administrator.   McKenna, S. (2017) Crossing Conceptual Thresholds in Doctoral Communities. Innovations in Education and Teaching International.   In this article McKenna looks at a Doctoral community that she coordinates to ask how such communities might deepen postgraduate learning by offering collaborative and supportive spaces. She draws on the idea that doctoral learning needs to include crossing over conceptual thresholds and acquiring new ways of understanding the world.
