What is the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning?
A Working Example:
Developing a Knowledge-Expertise
Taxonomy for Mathematics
by Curtis Bennett,
Loyola Marymount University
In this talk, Professor Bennett will provide an introduction to the scholarship of
teaching and learning (SoTL) in mathematics using a knowledge-expertise taxonomy
for student learning in mathematics. He will use the development and application of the
taxonomy to describe how to create and carry out a SoTL project in mathematics. The
knowledge-expertise taxonomy breaks student learning down into five cognitive and two
affective dimensions, and can be used to both analyze student progress and frame courses.
