As we design any project, it is important to remember that SoTL research primarily addresses the impact of one\u2019s teaching practice upon learning. SoTL\u2019s ethical challenges stem from the fact that this has the potential to create a power differential between the researchers and their learners. In situations where we conduct research in our own classrooms, these issues can be complicated by our dual responsibilities as both teacher and researcher, and by the power differential inherent in the relationship between teacher and learner. Other potential issues may arise around the confidentiality of data, the use of instructional time for research, and\/or learners feeling compelled to participate in the research for fear of non-participation impacting their grades or course\/certificate completion.\n<\/p>\n
