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.
