Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is research that investigates effective teaching strategies and how we best learn. Some of the questions SoTL research is well positioned to answer include: What impact did a given strategy have on student learning? How do students perceive a given teaching technique? Are some teaching strategies more effective than other when teaching a particular concept? The results of these investigations provide the evidence-based practices that inform scholarly teaching.
