The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a rich forum where scholars from different fields and philosophical orientations find space to share their research on teaching and learning in higher education. Within this paper, we will share our individual and collective experiences of why we perceive phenomenology as a methodology well-suited for a broad range of SoTL purposes. Phenomenology is a research approach that focuses on describing the common meaning of the lived experience of several individuals about a particular phenomenon. We will discuss how phenomenology informed our own SoTL research projects, exploring the experiences of faculty and undergraduates in higher education. We will highlight the challenges and affordances that emerged from our use of this methodology. Phenomenology has motivated us to tell our stories of SoTL research and within those, to share the stories that faculty and students shared.

现象学作为教学研究奖学金的方法论

教学与学习奖学金 (SoTL) 是一个丰富的论坛，来自不同领域和哲学取向的学者可以在这里找到空间分享他们对高等教育教学和学习的研究。在本文中，我们将分享我们的个人和集体经验，说明为什么我们将现象学视为一种非常适合广泛的 SoTL 目的的方法。现象学是一种研究方法，侧重于描述几个人对特定现象的生活经验的共同意义。我们将讨论现象学如何为我们自己的 SoTL 研究项目提供信息，探索教师和本科生在高等教育中的经验。我们将强调我们使用这种方法所带来的挑战和启示。
