This chapter describes the development, implementation, and assessment of an intensive Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Scholars program grounded in self-determination theory. These findings provide one of the first integrations of theory into studying the impact of SoTL and can support educational developers with SoTL initiatives at…

Neoliberalism is ubiquitous in higher education. In its dedication to efficiency and measurement, neoliberalism poses threats to the arts and humanities, especially their least measurable, most human qualities. Guided by an institutional logics framework, this multiple case study gauged how arts and humanities faculty can navigate this tension as…

This chapter compared views of US- and foreign-educated faculty who teach in American universities on what represents excellent teaching using an online version of the teacher behavior checklist (TBC). Demographic criteria (including prior graduate training in teaching, rank, and teaching experiences) were used as bases for comparison. Both groups…

This chapter provides an analysis of the institutionalization of SoTL at University College Cork in Ireland, offers some guiding questions to help individuals or groups reflect critically on their own SoTL institutionalization journeys, and suggests implications for further research on how institutionalization processes inform academic identity…

This chapter defines digital primary source literacy, identifies three key competencies necessary for students to develop when working with online archival sources as part of their course work, and provides a case study of a classroom exercise that can be adapted by faculty looking to develop these skills in their students.

Data show higher enrollment of international graduate students compared to undergraduates in the United States in 2022, with the trend expected to continue. Many international doctoral students pursue education in the United States, hoping to seek employment and/or employment-based permanent immigration after graduation. Through critical personal…

This article presents a case study of a faculty-student mentoring relationship developed within the context of an online clinical doctorate training environment. Recommendations are provided for potential mentors and mentees who may be interested in engaging in a distance-based mentoring relationship but who may not be in an institution/program…

This study describes the 4-year experience of a dental school in implementing web-based e-portfolios for competency assessment and professional development. We discuss our adaptable strategies and the lessons learned, hoping to contribute to the literature and offer guidance to other institutions considering the implementation of e-portfolios.

This study reports on the value of teaching preservice teachers in an authentic setting. Outcomes suggest that the situated learning setting was more effective to the acquisition of content and pedagogy and increasing essential skill competence than when courses are offered in a more traditional format of lecture and discussion.

Interprofessional education (IPE) provides healthcare students with educational experiences that will prepare them for the evolving team-based approach to healthcare. With significant differences in training approaches, areas of expertise, commitment to IPE, and resources among disciplines, curricular developers must be strategic and deliberate to…

Scientific research endeavors are increasingly collaborative in nature. As researchers work together in groups of increasing size to develop project goals and implement plans, traditional 1-1 single faculty-student mentor models are less relevant as students need input and guidance from the multiple faculty members contributing to the…

Sustainability education offers higher education institutions opportunities to broaden the participation of groups traditionally underrepresented in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. This chapter focuses on an exploratory case study that looks at how sustainability education can be used as a tool to increase…

This chapter presents the findings of a narrative study of two diverse faculty members on the path to their current faculty positions and examines their negotiation of a critical event in light of adult transformative learning.

This chapter discusses key findings from two recent studies that examine transformative learning experiences in a restorative practices-based graduate program at the International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP). Restorative practices is a new interdisciplinary social science that studies the development and maintenance of relationships…

This chapter presents the bottlenecks identified by seven faculty members from diverse disciplines and an inductive content analysis of their Decoding interviews. Representative quotations illustrate themes in the interviews and we consider the implications for both faculty development and pedagogical research.
