What
is the Scholarship of Teaching?
The Scholarship of Teaching
is the scholarly inquiry into the teaching and learning process. By
engaging in the Scholarship of Teaching, faculty marry their knowledge
of teaching and pedagogy with their skills as researchers and their
knowledge of research design. Teacher-scholars look critically at their
own teaching, often conducting research in their own classrooms, share
their findings with others, and engage in scholarly conversations to
promote the advancement of teaching.
"Viewing
teaching as scholarly work is essential. Teachers so often have
to carry out their work in isolation from their colleagues. The
result is that those who engage in innovative acts of teaching do
no have many opportunities to build on the work of others. [The
Scholarship of Teaching] seek[s] to render teaching public, subject
to critical evaluation, and usable to others in the field."
- Lee Shulman, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
