About this ebook
A survey of exemplary SoTL research projects and the use of their results on a broader scale.
When the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) emerged, it often concentrated on individual faculty practice in one classroom; it is now, however, increasingly common to find work in SoTL focused more broadly. SoTL studies may engage with a cluster of courses, a program, a particular population of students, a pedagogical approach, or a field—all of which are represented in the essays collected here by authors from a diverse array of institutions and nations. This volume features examples of SoTL research conducted in, and applied to, a variety of contexts and disciplines, offering a theoretical framework for an expanded vision of SoTL—one that moves beyond the individual classroom.

She is interested in the competencies necessary for success in working with families with infants and toddlers, both in child care and home visiting programs, and on how to build competencies through pre- and in-service professional development. Gina A. Cook is Associate Professor of Psychology and Child Development at California State University, Stanislaus. She co-developed the PICCOLO (Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes) measure of developmental parenting and the HOVRS A+ (Home Visit Rating Scales- Adapted and Extended to Excellence) an observational measure and self-reflection tool of home visitor effectiveness. Her scholarship on the teaching and learning of undergraduate students has focused on including self-reflection and mindfulness practices on students' learning.

Kalli Decker is Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education & Child Services at Montana State University. As a doctoral student, she received mentoring in a one-year program regarding how to conduct SOTL research, and this sparked her interest in continuing to conduct research that will inform the ways in which she teaches her early childhood students. Her published SoTL research includes an article in the Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education.
