Questions to consider in SoTL research inception

“Purpose, Participation, and Consent - What is the question or problem you want to investigate, and why is it essential to spend your own and others’ time and energy on it? - Whose consent, permission, cooperation, involvement, or collaboration will be required to conduct your project? How can roles and permissions be negotiated and renegotiated over time? - What concerns might students have about your work and their participation in it? What choices do students have if they are uncomfortable? - Whose perspectives will be represented in the work? How can various perspectives be honoured? What unique concerns do you have about representing individuals or groups with less power in the educational system? - What power relationships need to be considered when negotiating roles, permissions, and involvements by various participants in your work? Are there issues of gender, race, culture, and status difference that need to be considered?” (Fedoruk, 2017, p. 2)
