SoTL’s Impact on Teaching Goals: A Case Study from a Regional University

Abstract

This study reviewed the impact of a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) program offered at a university. While there is a plethora of literature available that addresses the impact on scholars' teaching methods and classroom research, few publications address SoTL's impact on teaching goals. Twelve faculty scholars participated in the cohort-based program and completed the Angelo and Cross' (1993a) Teaching Goals Inventory (TGI) before and after participation in SoTL. Statistically significant increases with medium to large effect were noted for two TGI clusters. Faculty scholars' quotes provided evidence of how their practice changed after this SoTL program.
