C&RL News, July/August 2002 (Vol. 63 No. 1)
by Musa Abdul Hakim

We believe the time has come to move beyond the tired old “teaching versus research” debate and give the familiar and honorable term “scholarship” a broader, more capacious meaning, one that brings legitimacy to the full scope of academic work. Surely, scholarship means engaging in original research. But the work of the scholar also means stepping back from one’s investigation, looking for connections, building bridges between theory and practice, and communicating one’s knowledge effectively to students.
—E. L. Boyer, 1990

In 1998, the Carnegie Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts launched a multiyear project called the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) to support the development of a scholarship of teaching and learning in academe. In the present academic environment, where teaching is still undervalued in favor of research, the initiative has begun to stimulate a change of academic culture that some feel is long overdue. Due to the lack of a comprehensive index to the growing number of sites on the scholarship of teaching and learning, finding materials on this subject can be time consuming. This selective annotated Web guide or “Webliography” aims to facilitate access to Web-based information on the burgeoning international CASTL project. In this Webliography I have selected only sample sites that are either illustrative of the project’s objectives and achievements or sites with indexes and links to additional print and Internet resources. Includes the following categories: Organizations and associations, Programs, Electronic journals, Articles, Guidelines and reports, and Tutorials and additional resources.

 

Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL)
http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/CASTL/

CASTL represents a major initiative of The Carnegie Foundation. Launched in 1998, the program builds on a conception of teaching as scholarly work proposed in the 1990 report, Scholarship Reconsidered, by former Carnegie Foundation President Ernest Boyer, and on the 1997 follow-up publication, Scholarship Assessed, by Charles Glassick, Mary Taylor Huber, and Gene Maeroff. The CASTL Higher Education Program is comprised of three components: the Carnegie Scholars program, the Campus program, and the Scholarly and Professional Societies program.

INVENTIO
http://www.doit.gmu.edu/Archives/feb98/about.html

INVENTIO is a project of the Department of Instructional Improvement and Instructional Technologies (DoIIIT) at George Mason University. The journal’s name is taken from the first of the five arts of classical rhetoric: thinking out the subject, identifying the issue at question, exploring the means of persuasion. With initial sponsorship from the College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School of Education, and New Century College, DoIIIT planned a special first issue in February 1999, to focus on the theme—The Scholarship of Teaching—part of George Mason’s participation in the Carnegie Foundation’s Teaching Academy program. Invited contributors from the University addressed definitions of the scholarship of teaching and look at ways that campus practices, policies, and conditions work for or against a scholarship of teaching. Subsequent issues feature peer-reviewed articles on instructional research, instructional philosophy, pedagogy, learning theory, and other significant issues related to excellence in learning and teaching.

As an e-journal, JoSoTL aims at rapid review of submissions and universal access to the findings it publishes. Submissions can be sent to Donald A. Coffin (dcoffin@iun.edu).

The Scholarship of Teaching
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/
Thinking about teaching begins where all intellectual inquiry begins, with questions about what is going on and how to explain, support, and replicate answers that satisfy us. The scholarship of teaching means that we invest in our teaching the intellectual powers we practice in our research.
