Getting Started with SoTL in Your Classroom
Francis, Raymond
International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, v1 n2 Article 20 Jul 2007
The synthesis of the principles of SoTL into a process to be used in the classroom is an important part of scholarship. This work reviews foundation information related to SoTL and combines ideas from multiple authors into a manageable vision. In addition, the author identifies a tentative seven-step process for use in an individual classroom, and shares a classroom example of the use of SoTL to improve an individual's practice. The specific classroom example is used to demonstrate both the process of SoTL and reinforce the foundation and expectations of SoTL in the professional community.
