Non-Research Proposal / About SoTL

Abstract

San Jacinto College implemented a SoTL Group on its South campus and by doing so, the college has been able to bring research into the college culture in a systematic way, encouraging faculty to make research-driven decisions with regard to the discipline-specific approaches they take in the classroom. Also, because research is not typically a requirement at the community college level, SoTL gives faculty an opportunity to hone their research skills and share scholarly inquiry with their colleagues on the campus, district, and national level. SoTL can positively affect the culture and can revive creativity in the classroom.
