Dear Colleagues,

At Utrecht University, the Netherlands, the concept of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is very new and not many teachers do research on their own teaching. In November I will start with a new course on SoTL in which we want to engage teachers (about 8-12participants) , particularly of the faculty of Science, into research on education through SoTL: so let them formulate a question based on their own teaching experiences, do literature research, set up a study, use quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate student learning, and disseminate their results in meetings and through publication.

As this is very new to us I would like to ask if any of you can share their experience with SoTL-courses like I describe above? Do you have any tips, do’s and don’ts for me?

In addition I am very interested in investigating the effect of SoTL-courses like this, and other educational development courses, on teachers, students and the organisation. Can anyone share their experience with me, what kind of research questions have you investigated and what methods did you use? (E.g. publication about the results).

I also am interested in sharing experiences about SoTL  through collaboration and maybe visits to your institute/university. So if you have an idea about possibilities it would be great to come in contact. I will be attending the ISSoTL in Bergen this year so maybe I can meet someone there.

Thank you very much in advance
Irma
