CALL FOR ARTICLES:
Academic Exchange Quarterly, Summer 2010, Volume 14, Issue 2:
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
The focus of this issue is on the process of learning. Submitted topics
may address questions such as those presented below:
1. What does it mean “to learn”?
2. What kinds of teaching strategies maximize student learning?
3. How do affective factors such as feelings and emotions influence
learning?
4. How do cognitive and environmental factors influence learning?
5. Are there cognitive/affective interactions or
affective/environmental interactions or even cognitive/environmental
interactions that impact learning?
6. What are the essential elements of effective teaching or effective
learning?
These are a few of the questions raised by the topic, the Scholarship of
Teaching and Learning. As teachers, we need to be not only masters of
our disciplines but also masters of the learning process. As
teacher-scholars, we investigate teaching strategies, pose hypotheses
about learning that can be tested, and assess outcomes in the context of
various disciplines and various learning paradigms. The result is a
reflective, on-going process and a “meta-pedagogy” that is dynamic.
Who May Submit:
Papers are invited that focus on issues and research related to this
“meta-pedagogy.” Subject areas might include classroom methods, teaching
technologies, assessment that enhances learning, strategies that promote
equal opportunity in the classroom, learning styles and beliefs,
outcomes-based learning, teacher effectiveness, the use of writing
journals or other approaches to represent and assess thinking processes,
meta-cognitive strategies used by teachers or students, and the use of
different models of learning such as constructivist or behaviorist.
Papers may represent investigations at any grade level, K-graduate
level. Please identify your submission with keyword: SCHOLAR-2
