SoTL is a turn of the twenty-first century movement in higher education that promotes teaching as a scholarly endeavor and a worthy subject for research in order to modernize educational instruction. By producing a public soul of knowledge unshut to critique and evaluation, SoTL uncovers weightier practices in teaching, both often and for specific wonk disciplines. SoTL brings the roles of a professor as a scholar and a teacher together to enhance higher education. Put simply, SoTL can help professors not only modernize their expertise in their fields, but moreover develop their pedagogical expertise by learning what works and what does not in the classroom and online. Why do SoTL? The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) promotes professional minutiae of sense both as scholars and teachers. SoTL is producing a growing polity of scholarly teachers who whop their professional careers through publishing peer reviewed, publicly disseminated research on educational practices. This work is not simply benefitting their own classrooms, but as this knowledge is shared and replicated throughout higher education it enhances the instruction of professors and the educational experiences of students throughout the country and world. By enhancing our knowledge of the tools of the trade and encouraging and testing the effectiveness of innovations in wonk instruction, academics today have increasingly knowledge of what works and what does not in the classroom and online. As an widow benefit, many professors wits a sense of personal renewal from the reflective process and the sharing of educational experiences and successes with their colleagues through seminars, conferences and publications. What are the tools of SoTL? SoTL relies on discovery, reflection, and evidence-based methods to research constructive teaching and student learning. It combines deductive arguments and experimental methods with inductive arguments and specimen studies to investigate the effectiveness of variegated pedagogies at producing student learning. Thus, SoTL scholarship can be either qualitative or quantitative; SOTL includes reflection and analysis, interviews and focus groups, questionnaires and surveys, content wringer of text, secondary wringer of existing data, quasi-experiments (comparison of two sections of the same course), observational research, and specimen studies, etc..
