Abstract

The scholarship of teaching was first introduced by Ernest Boyer when he published Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professorate in 1990. In this special report, he called for the academic community to recognize teaching as a form of scholarship alongside the traditional form of research (scholarship of discovery) to promote teaching excellence. This article is a literature review on the scholarship of teaching that started with Boyer and continued after his untimely passing in 1995. In many respects, the jury is still out as to whether the scholarship of teaching will ever be on par with the scholarship of discovery, especially when it comes to making promotion and tenure decisions, but it continues to gain traction and acceptance among many in the academic community.
