What is the scholarship of teaching?
Answer
Scholarship of teaching focuses on the art and science that goes into effective teaching. By reimagining teaching as a form of scholarship, teaching is redefined as an activity that "both educates and entices future scholars" (Boyer, 1990, p. 23). Scholarship of Teaching "keeps the flame of scholarship alive... Without the teaching function, the continuity of knowledge will be broken and the store of human knowledge dangerously diminished" (Boyer, 1990, p. 24).
