Current Issue
SoTL Africa, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Africa's higher education, is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to achieve two objectives: to publish SoTL research and to advance SoTL in Africa.
Primarily, the journal is a forum for SoTL research in all disciplines, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary, in fields such as Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Entrepreneurship (STEAME). The papers are structured in the general format of Introduction, Methodology, Results, and Discussion (IMRAD) to be a viable resource for effective teaching, learning, and scholarship in African higher education.
Additionally, the journal seeks to advance SoTL in Africa and invites essays that educate those interested in SoTL on how to conduct SoTL studies. The articles may, but are not limited to, model how to ask SoTL questions, determine what questions need to be asked, and identify who performs, supports, or benefits from SoTL research in Africa.
The March 2026 Special Issue features invited submissions, with manuscripts undergoing peer review and final selection by the journal’s editorial team prior to publication.
