Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
What is the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning?
Our students come from increasingly diverse backgrounds and levels of preparation, and we want all of them to have a positive and productive educational experience.
When we introduce a new method of teaching, it's important to make sure it's actually working to help students. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a new field of research in which academics study the learning gains experienced by students as they progress through their education. The aim of the SoTL practitioner is to work out what, how, and how much students learn in different educational situations, then share this information with colleagues so that everyone can improve their teaching practice and student learning outcomes.
UQ is the first Australian University to appoint academics with a SoTL research focus. The goal of these academics is to create collegial, critical, evidence-based communities of faculty and students where student learning goals and outcomes are central.
