Utrecht Roadmap for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Abstract

The Utrecht Roadmap for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is a useful tool that can help you with systematically investigating your own teaching practice. In eight steps you will be stimulated to think critically about the way you organise your teaching and the eff ect this has on your students’ learning. Relevant information, tips, and targeted questions help you, in a structured manner, to turn your ideas into practice-oriented research. The aim is to increase your knowledge of your students’ learning or to improve your teaching. The tool is developed by education experts at the Utrecht University and based on their teaching experience, knowledge of theories on education and executing practice-oriented research based on the principles of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). This tool has been developed for everyone who wants to professionalise as a teacher and who wants to optimise their own teaching practice. The only thing you need to do is start at step one.
