Scholarship and research
Scholarship of learning and teaching (SOTL) is an important part of teaching practice at USQ. The Policy on Research and Scholarship defines both scholarship and research within USQ's context. It involves:

engagement with research into teaching and learning
-
critical reflection of practice by self and peers
-
communication and dissemination about the practice of one's subject.
