In this paper, we explore whether teaching is the primary focus of recent articles published from 2013-2017 in three international, self-identified SoTL journals: <em>Teaching and Learning Inquiry: The ISSOTL Journal </em>(<em>TLI</em>), <em>The International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning</em> (<em>ijSOTL</em>)<em>,</em> and <em>The Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning</em> (<em>JoSoTL</em>). Based on our analysis of the 299 empirical articles, we argue that they portray SoTL as a field focused primarily on teacher activity rather than student learning, despite efforts to broaden its scope.</p> ER -
