SoTL Plan with Reflection
My Reflective Response
- Research Questions
- The question I wanted to answer is if students can incorporate the use of AI-Generation Tools into their learning practices in a meaningful and positive way. The question proved hard to phrase, as I struggled with the aspect of proving it out. Leaving me to reflect that a research question is much more difficult to construct than I originally imagined.
- Prior Research
- I found the references and examples very helpful. I think the only comforting thing when reflecting at this stage was that SoTL resources were diverse and plentiful. Certainly, the community of SoTL researchers were open about sharing.
- Plan of Action
- Essentially, I came rapidly to the conclusion that SoTL is rigorous. The work is thoughtful and determined. Before undertaking more SoTL research I would more fully consult references and consider some form of academic study – courseware or certification.
- Dissemination Strategy
- Once again I perceived this component as straight-forward but upon closer examination SoTL requires a comprehensive design. All elements of the SoTL plan are inter-related and must be cohesive. I found myself travelling through the plan and revising sections based on discovery in other sections. For example, if the plan was to disseminate the information in a presentation then that informs the method in which you codify the results – seeking more graphic representations. Conversely, if the information more readily confirms to a written presentation then the dissemination strategy changes. Thus my final conclusion is that the SoTL plan must be aligned and cohesive.
- I would share my information with a Open Creative Commons license – only to the extent that ethical guidelines would permit.
