Please take a minute to fill out survey on the proposed Center for Scholarly Teaching. We value your input.
What is "The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning"?
An understanding of teaching and learning challenges as legitimate questions for scholarly inquiry.
A belief, therefore, that teaching is intellectual work, not merely the effective use of methods or techniques, and that discipline specialists are often best prepared to pose and pursue learning problems in their fields.
An understanding of teaching as a set of reflective practices which can be advanced through scholarly inquiry into student learning.
A belief, therefore, that the results of this inquiry should be made public, available for critical review and accessible for exchange and use by other scholars.
