Enhancing Learning Through the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: The Challenges and Joys of Juggling

by Kathleen McKinney

The Challenges and Joys of Juggling There has been growing demand for workshops and materials to help those in higher education conduct and use the scholarship of teaching and learning. This book offers advice on how to do, share, and apply SoTL work to improve student learning and development. Written for college-level faculty members as well as faculty developers, administrators, academic staff, and graduate students, this book will also help undergraduate students collaborating with faculty on SoTL projects. Though targeted at those new to the field of SoTL, more seasoned SoTL researchers and those attempting to support SoTL efforts will find the book valuable. It can be used as an individual reading, a shared reading in SoTL writing circles, a resource in workshops on SoTL, and a text in seminars on teaching. Contents

[Katherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good, thorough, and easy to read primer with definite tips for future actions if you are trying to create a culture of SoTL on your campus or just to pursue this form of scholarship as an individual.

[Josephine Ensign · Rating 2 out of 5]

A good but very basic introduction to what it means to "study" teaching and learning within higher education. It is easy to read, relatively free of "academese" jargon, and with good—though dated—resources.
