Abstract

This study explores the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) as a form of troublesome knowledge
(Perkins 1999) that continues to trouble its practitioners. Forty-eight higher education professionals from six
countries described their understanding of SoTL in an online survey; ten individuals participated in follow-up
interviews to consider how SoTL experiences shape, support, or hinder academic identity and knowing. We
categorize our findings according to the dynamic factors—personal, relational, and contextual—identified by
Lieff et al (2012); we argue that SoTL serves to illuminate and expose tensions created by competing values
and that these values can lead to, or create, a troublesome space wherein promoting SoTL can be enabling and
disabling.
