SoTL at KSU

Definitions of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) can differ by discipline and continue to be refined within the field itself. For the purposes of our programming, KSU CETL defines SoTL as systematic and/or reflective inquiry into student learning and/or teaching in higher education which is situated in context and involves methodologically sound application of appropriate research methods, peer review, and distribution as scholarly work (Felten, 2013). 

SoTL is featured in KSU's strategic plan, Goal 1.4.2: Become a leader in scholarship of teaching and learning. 

Felten, P. (2013). Principles of good practice in SoTL. Teaching and Learning Inquiry, 1(1), 121-125.
