◇ SoTL & research

Research-question framer.

You've noticed something in your teaching. Turn it into a sharp, researchable SoTL question — with the question type and a method that fits. The hardest part of a SoTL project is asking it well.

The teaching thing at the heart of it.
Does it work?
Test if an approach improves an outcome
What is happening?
Describe / understand an experience
Why?
Explain a pattern or mechanism
What could be?
Design & trial a new possibility

Your draft question

A good SoTL question names who, what and in what context — and is answerable with evidence you can actually gather. Refine it, then pressure-test the ethics with the Ethics Self-Check and the instrument with the Survey Checker.
