When considering a SoTL project, researchers often have one of four kinds of questions to address in the classroom or in their teaching. These are:
- What works?
- What is?
- Visions of the possible
- Theory building
Often these questions come from the Scholar’s own experiences and a curiosity to understand or a need to improve what is happening in their own teaching or classroom experience.Exploring these themes can help to formulate a path forward to answering questions about the teaching and learning processes.
