Publisher's Synopsis
The authors wrote this book, the tenth in their "It Works for Me" Series, to encourage scholars to attempt to produce the fastest growing form of research, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, or SoTL. The collection begins with their essay on the rapid growth of this form from one of Boyer's four types of scholarship to today's SoTL, and they even provide a succinct rationale for attempting such scholarship, including personal discussions on the best articles they have written on the subject. The next section in the book covers historical and theoretical perspectives on the scholarship of teaching and learning. Following that, another section offers actual tips for the production of SoTL, which is followed by a section describing some SoTL projects. The authors then put forth a step-by-step guide to help you with a SoTL project and conclude with their speculations on future developments in this form.
