A Pragmatic Approach to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Track
Non-Research Proposal / About SoTL
Abstract
Philosophical approaches to the SoTL ought to examine and analyze how to design, conduct, and publish research on teaching and learning. Every approach should draw from fields of study including ontology, epistemology, and axiology while addressing questions related to the learner, teacher, curriculum, instructional method, and social policy in order to develop a philosophy that is consistent and applicable in any place of learning. The proposed philosophy holds to a pragmatic philosophical view in its educational application and maintains a contextually relevant organization and underpinning in its philosophical concepts and sustains the ability to be replicated in any learning environment.
