The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL or SoTL; pronounced /sˈɔtl/ or /sˈɔtəl/) is a growing movement in post-secondary education. SOTL is scholarly inquiry into student learning which advances the practice of teaching by making inquiry findings public. SOTL necessarily builds on many past traditions in higher education, including classroom and program assessment, K-12 action research, the reflective practice movement, peer review of teaching, traditional educational research, and faculty development efforts to enhance teaching and learning. Terms closely related to the scholarship of teaching and learning are good teaching (that which promotes student learning and desired outcomes and is recognized by student satisfaction, peer review, etc.) and scholarly teaching (in which teaching is regarded as an area of study and the teaching and learning knowledge base is regarded as an additional discipline in which to develop expertise). As such, SOTL encompasses aspects of professional development or faculty development, such as how teachers can not only improve their expertise in their fields, but also develop their pedagogical expertise, i.e., how to better teach novice students in the field or enable their learning. It also encompasses the study and implementation of more modern teaching methods, such as active learning, cooperative learning, problem based learning, and others. SOTL scholars come from various backgrounds, such as those in educational psychology and other education related fields, as well as specialists in various disciplines who are interested in improving teaching and learning in their respective fields. Some scholars are educational researchers or consultants affiliated with teaching and learning centers at universities. Inquiry methods in SOTL include reflection and analysis, interviews and focus groups, questionnaires and surveys, content analysis of text, secondary analysis of existing data, quasi-experiments (comparison of two sections of the same course), observational research, and case studies, among others. As with all scholarly study, evidence depends not only upon the methods chosen but the relevant disciplinary standards. Dissemination for impact among scholarly teachers may be local within the academic department, college or university, or may be in published, peer-reviewed form. A few journals exclusively publish SOTL outputs, and numerous disciplinary publications disseminate such inquiry outputs (e.g., ''J. Chem. Educ.'', ''J. Natural Resour. Life Sci. Educ.'', ''Research in the Teaching of English'', ''College English'', ''J. Economic Education''), as well as a number of (core SoTL journals and newsletters ). (The International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (ISSOTL) ) was founded in 2004 by a committee of 67 scholars from several countries and serves faculty members, staff, and students who care about teaching and learning as serious intellectual work. ISSOTL has held annual conferences since 2004, attended by scholars from about a dozen nations. The conferences sites include Bloomington, Indiana USA (2004); Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (2005); Washington, DC, USA (2006); Sydney, Australia (2007); Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (2008); Bloomington, Indiana, USA (2009); Liverpool, UK (2010); Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA (2011); Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (2012); Raleigh, North Carolina, USA (2013); Quebec City, Quebec, Canada (2014). ==External links== * (Carnegie Foundation's Knowledge Media Laboratory ) * (Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching ) * (The Higher Education Academy ) * (Illinois State University SoTL website ) * (Indiana University SoTL website ) * (Southeast Missouri State University SoTL website ) * (The Institute for SoTL at the University of British Columbia ) * (International Journal of Service Learning in Engineering, Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship (IJSLE) ) * (International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning ) * (The International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (ISSOTL) ) * (Journal of the NUS Teaching Academy (JNUSTA) ) * (Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (JoSOTL) ) * (Practice and Evidence of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (PESTLHE) ) * (Teaching and Learning Resources, Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion ) * (Transformative Dialogues:Teaching and Learning Journal ) * (University of Glasgow's beSoTLed website ) * (University of Wisconsin System SoTL website ) * (Visible Knowledge Project: A Collaborative Investigation of Learning, Inquiry, and Technology ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scholarship of Teaching and Learning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
