Chapter 9: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Throughout this Resource Guide integrating service-learning into your course(s) has been defined as involving ongoing reflection and refinement on your part as the instructor. Once you have taught with service-learning once or twice, you may find value in formalizing your “experiments” as scholarship of teaching and learning projects.

Veteran instructors may find opportunities not only to continue refining their practice, but to do so in collaboration with others across the Jumpstart network. Moving from teaching with service-learning to scholarship on service-learning can help to support and extend your research interests and, perhaps, to cultivate new areas of expertise. Your experience with Jumpstart service-learning may offer unique opportunities for publication, within the service-learning community but also within your discipline.

The material in this chapter will support you in beginning to connect teaching a Jumpstart service-learning course with scholarship on service-learning and in documenting such work as scholarship. Topics in this chapter include:

• From “Good Teaching” to “Scholarly Teaching” to “The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning” (SoTL) – introduces the scholarship of teaching and learning



• Service-Learning as SoTL: An example – provides an example of a SoTL project on service-learning



• Service-Learning as SoTL: Questions to get you started – offer a series of questions to help you begin to frame your teaching and service-learning as a SoTL project



• Documenting your Work as Scholarship – discusses the importance of appropriate reporting of service-learning teaching and scholarship



• Jumpstart Service-Learning as SoTL – explores some of the benefits of approaching service-learning as SoTL, within and beyond the Jumpstart network



• Reflection Prompts for the Reader -- provides several prompts that will help the reader reflect on the content of this section
