Enhancing the Quality of Teaching and Learning through SoTL: Challenges and Opportunities

内容简介

Although 30 years have passed since the first publication of Ernest Boyer’s seminal work Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate that introduced the concept of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, the potential of its application for the vast improvement of teaching and learning is yet to be fully realized. This presentation will examine the causes for the limited impact of this powerful approach to educational improvement world-wide and suggest ways in which the challenges that constrain the possible success can be overcome through the university or college policy and practice. In this session the presenters will discuss the enabling institutional policy frameworks and practical approaches to encourage transformational subject-embedded scholarly inquiry into the effectiveness of teaching that results in tangible learning gains for the students. The examples of successful implementation of SoTL-based improvement in higher education and recommendations for the future will also be considered.
