Scholarship of Teaching - The Concept, Practice, and Research

What is The Scholarship of Teaching?

The term “scholarship of teaching” was used by Boyer (1990) to express the view that the rigorous and systematic creation of knowledge about teaching and learning is a form of scholarship similar in importance to that of traditional academic research.

He tried to establish the principle that the activities associated with the scholarship of teaching (research: exploration, experimentation and dissemination of results) should be conducted by academics from all disciplines, not just those who work in the field of education.

Boyer argued that the work of university academics (professors) should be thought of as having four separate, yet overlapping, functions, which he called, the scholarships of discovery, integration, application and teaching. The first three may belong to a specific science.

A decade after Boyer’s introduction of the scholarship of teaching,2 Shulman refined the definition of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) to include the critical elements of public availability, susceptibility to peer review, and dissemination to the broader professional community.3
