Research Speaker Series: Engaging in Great Practices for Research on Teaching and Learning

BCcampus webinar hosted March 11, 2025

Presenter: Dr. Brett McCollum
Host: Leva Lee

Felten’s Good Practice in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) provides a framework for researchers of teaching and learning within higher education. These principles emphasize the contextual nature of student learning, the importance of appropriate methodological practices, and the value of conducting inquiry in partnership with students. Recently, Hamilton and McCollum have proposed an additional principle for Great Practice in SoTL. This 6th principle serves to bridge the gap between research traditions of academic silos, improving the communication and application of scholarly findings for teaching practices across post-secondary settings. 

In this session, McCollum will present models for engaging with students as partners, considerations for learner safety during research mentoring processes, and the importance of describing your research’s epistemological and ontological traditions for scholarly impact.
