(SoTL) Program

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Program

Got questions about your students' learning?

Then join KCTL's Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Program, led by Loretta Brancaccio-Taras (Biological Sciences, KCeL).

The SoTL Program is offered as three workshops and while it is designed for workshops to be taken in order, it is also self-paced so you can take subsequent workshops when you are ready. 

Loretta Brancaccio Taras

Part 1: Getting Started In Part 1 we...

  • read and discuss preliminary SoTL materials,
  • frame research questions based on observations of our own teaching and learning experiences, and
  • discuss the requirements for becoming certified to do research with human subjects and submitting an IRB application. 

Part 2: Designing Your Project In Part 2, we...

  • discuss sample SoTL articles and consider various research designs, and
  • look at a variety of classroom assessment techniques.

Part 3: Going Public In Part 3, we...

  • discuss the structure of SoTL articles, including conceptual framework, lit review, methods, evidence, and reflection; and
  • identify appropriate places for publishing your work.

Ongoing Support in designing your project, analyzing and interpreting data, and revising your manuscript is offered by the facilitators.
