Abstract

As a teacher educator, the author has always believed that the primary goal of the university is to cultivate talents. The author's experience in SoTL practice has made her realise that this is a possible way to change the current problem of emphasising research over teaching in Chinese universities. The author believes that reflection is the impetus of SoTL practice . Through reflective reports and focus group interviews, the authors emphasised the development of teacher trainees' reflective awareness and skills. As an associate dean of the school, the author has formed a community of practice by organising SoTL workshops and SoTL research projects. SoTL research and practice in China has made breakthroughs, but still faces insufficient individual faculty commitment to SoTL practice. In order to change this situation, SoTL needs to be explicitly used in national policy texts, and the formation of a national SoTL society should be used to facilitate the development of SoTL.
