Unifying SoTL Methodology: Internal and External Validity

Abstract: A broad consensus exists that the use of appropriate methods are important in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. However, methodological controversies arise around what constitutes acceptable evidence, if one needs a control group, how generalizable results must be, and other similar issues. Much SoTL work, I argue, asks questions about how much a particular treatment (innovation) caused an effect (student learning), and how the results found in one particular context can be extended outside that contex… Show more

“…The second consideration is that the empirical research should be methodologically sound. This means that there should be a clearly stated hypothesis, the anticipated relationship between independent and dependent variables as well as the role of intervening variables should be specified and the components of the research should be valid and reliable (J. L. Bernstein, 2018). As discussed earlier, much of the published research in the SoTL area does not meet these basic requirements.…”

“…Some SoTL scholars have challenged such judgments made through narrow lenses, particularly in a diverse landscape like SoTL. Disciplinary prejudices have been called into question (Chick 2013;Poole 2013;Potter and Wuetherick 2015;Bernstein 2018;Sword 2019), as have geographical and cultural biases (Chng and Looker 2013;Chng and Mårtensson 2020).…”
