ABSTRACT

As the higher education landscape changes, teaching-only faculty face increasing challenges to deliver evidence-based teaching through engaging with the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). This transition from discipline expert to SoTL practitioner is often poorly supported and undertaken in isolation. We describe a faculty learning community (FLC) to support teaching-only faculty engaging in SoTL. The FLC was formed to provide a space to share challenges regarding scholarship and give practical support to engage in SoTL. The FLC successfully bridged members’ transition to SoTL, providing a sense of belonging to re-connect faculty and promote scholarship.

摘要

随着高等教育格局的变化，只授课的教师在通过参与教学奖学金 (SoTL) 提供循证教学方面面临越来越大的挑战。这种从学科专家到 SoTL 从业者的转变往往得不到充分支持，而且是孤立地进行的。我们描述了一个教师学习社区 (FLC)，以支持从事 SoTL 的教学教师。FLC 的成立是为了提供一个空间来分享奖学金方面的挑战，并为参与 SoTL 提供实际支持。FLC 成功地将成员过渡到 SoTL，为重新联系教师和促进奖学金提供了一种归属感。
