Weaving SoTL into the Academic Fabric: Myths, Methods, and Mastery
Abstract
How often have we been told that scholarship and teaching are parallel journeys, seldom intersecting? What if they’re more intertwined than we imagine? This keynote seeks to dispel common misconceptions about SoTL, including the often misunderstood delineation between teaching and scholarship. Drawing from my own teaching in large enrollment courses, I will highlight SoTL examples showcasing the transformative potential of SoTL when scholarship and teaching are blended. Whether you’re looking for ways to apply SoTL literature to your teaching or are interested in doing SoTL work yourself, you’ll gain insights into weaving scholarship seamlessly into your pedagogical practices, crafting a richer educational tapestry for all involved.
