SoTL Inquiry Methods
While engaging in SoTL may introduce you to new inquiry methods (particularly ones grounded in the social sciences), you can also lean on your disciplinary research expertise to answer your SoTL questions. The video is a great example of leveraging approaches from the humanities.
Your selection of inquiry methods should be guided by your research question and the research expertise you bring to your scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) work – or the research expertise you are willing to develop. Although your SoTL research may prompt you to try inquiry methods that are new to you, your disciplinary research expertise also might be relevant to answering your SoTL question. In the video below, for instance, SoTL scholars discuss using Arts & Humanities inquiry methods to answer SoTL research questions.
