Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: A Tool for Gaining Cultural Insights Into New Teaching Contexts – Perspectives From China
Abstract
This chapter explores the journey of a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) practitioner grounded in over 11 years of teaching across two Asian countries. The author discusses how SoTL has become integral to the author's personal and professional identity. Through two key SoTL inquiries—“What Determines Chinese Students' Seat Selection: A SoTL Inquiry in Collaboration with Students' and 'Exploring Undergraduate Classroom Interest in the Chinese Context: Origins and Manifestations.', the chapter demonstrates how SoTL can enhance understanding of cultural differences in foreign teaching settings. These projects highlight the significance of reflection, student collaboration, and context in shaping SoTL practices. The chapter also analyzes the current state of SoTL in educational psychology, offering insights into its application across different cultural contexts. Finally, it provides recommendations for higher education institutions and policymakers on supporting SoTL's growth through institutional frameworks and professional development strategies.
