The Lethbridge College Scholarly Activity Policy defines SoTL as: “the systematic study of teaching and learning with a focus on improving student learning. It is an evidence-based process that enables use of various research methodologies with outcomes that can be applied to learning environments. This work focuses on conducting research, developing results for peer review, and publicly disseminating the research outcomes so others can learn from them and build upon them.”

Potter and Kustra (2011) describe the goal of a SoTL study as follows: “…the goal of the [SoTL] study is either a better understanding of how teaching (beliefs, behaviours, attitudes, and values) can maximize learning, and/or a more accurate understanding of learning” (p. 3.)
