Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) should be an integral part of every academic's life, representing not only the pinnacle of effortful teaching, but also standing side by side with more conventional disciplinary scholarship. This volume provides readers with challenges that will motivate them to engage in SoTL and take their pedagogical research further.

This book will serve as a practical guide for anyone, anywhere, who is interested in improving their teaching, the learning of their students, and correspondingly, contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning. It provides explicit instructions on how to design, conduct, analyze, and write-up SoTL work Includes samples of actual questionnaires and other materials (e.g., focus group questions) that will jumpstart investigations into teaching and learning

This book illustrates a unique and exciting endeavor whereby a group of academics across one university developed a professional learning community for the purposes of investigating, articulating and developing their scholarship of practice. The book provides a model for establishing learning communities in higher education and demonstrates that such work is not only possible but also successful.

This volume by a stellar group of experts provides a state-of-the-field review of recent SoTL scholarship within a range of disciplines and offers a stimulating discussion of critical issues related to interdisciplinarity in teaching, learning, and SoTL research.

This book xplores the meaning and nature of the scholarship of teaching and learning in Higher Education from a range of perspectives. It introduces the theoretical underpinnings of a scholarly approach, directing readers to a range of perspectives in the literature.
