Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Journals : Home
Definition
The Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL) is the “synthesis of teaching, learning, and research that uses a scholarly lens to examine how learning happens (or doesn’t) in higher education. SoTL is scholarly because it begins with intellectual curiosity, is conducted deliberately and systematically, is grounded in an analysis of relevant evidence, and results in findings shared with peers for critical review, the promotion of discourse, and the expansion of a knowledge base” (Columbia University)
