Abstract
We present research regarding the challenging process of becoming a SoTL scholar while experiencing conflict within the student-faculty relationship. Interpersonal conflict is fairly common in the student-faculty relationship and can have a significant impact on both new and seasoned instructors’ perceptions of their ability to teach. This study was completed as part of a SoTL mentoring project between the first and second authors. Different instructor demographics as well as various classroom management techniques were explored. Results showed that levels of conflict and techniques utilized varied across gender, age and years of teaching experience.
