Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Discussion Group √ §

Do you sometimes find yourself wondering how students learn in your class? Have you ever analyzed your students’ work looking for patterns in their learning? Are you interested in finding out whether a pedagogical change will improve your students’ learning? If so, then join your colleagues for a continuing discussion about all aspects of planning, executing, and publishing a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project.

In this session, we will delve into reviewing the literature for a SoTL project, especially how to find relevant studies, scope a review, and position your own work within the existing literature. Reviewing the literature for a SoTL study can be challenging, especially if you haven't conducted such a review in a while. In this session, Semhar Yohannes, Research Librarian, will lead us through the process of creating good search terms and conducting thorough, targeted searches of databases to find sources relevant to a SoTL study. Please feel free to share your own experiences and/or challenges with writing literature reviews.
