Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Laurie Richlin, in "Blueprint for Learning" (Stylus, 2006), presented the following distinction between scholarly teaching and the scholarship of teaching and learning:
Scholarly Teaching Process:
- Identify big questions in a course
- Select teaching goals
- Design learning objectives
- Consult literature
- Choose and use learning experiences
- Conduct systematic observation and assessment
- Document observations
- Analyze results
- Obtain peer evaluation
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning:
- Take results from scholarly teaching process...
- Identify key issues
- Synthesize results
- Place results into context of knowledge base
- Prepare manuscript
- Submit for peer review
- Disseminate - publish and present
