Book Description

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) landscape has emerged as a more recent area of interest and exploration for many post-secondary institutions. This Open Educational Resource (OER) is an effort to support the SoTL movement by providing intentionally curated material that can be used to prepare yourself and plan in this journey. This ‘handbook’ or ‘e binder’ is meant to serve as a one-stop shop for potential learners and researchers such as yourself, to better acquaint yourself with the basics of Action Research in the field of Teaching and Learning.

From conceptualizing and operationalizing a teaching-focused action research question, reflecting on teaching practices, identifying a researchable question, applying lessons learned with implications for practice, and transferring the rigorous approach to other teaching contexts and issues encountered, you will also have the opportunity to compile your reflections, ideas and all relevant elements to a potential research study.

Ultimately, this indispensable OER resource is a valuable digital library for institutional researchers, scholars, and educators beyond Centennial College, who may be interested in using the information to develop and reflect on their teaching and learning practice within the higher educational landscape.
