Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Defining the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

"the systematic study of teaching and learning, using established or validated criteria of scholarship, to understand how teaching (beliefs, behaviours, attitudes, and values) can maximize learning, and/or develop a more accurate understanding of learning, resulting in products that are publicly shared for critique and use by an appropriate community" 

(Potter and Kustra, "The Relationship between Scholarly Teaching and SoTL:Modles, Distinctions, and Clarifications")
