Faculty Members' Scholarly Learning Across Institutional Types

Explore an important, yet understudied concept: faculty scholarly learning.

Taking a broad view, this volume explains how scholarly learning is defined and conceptualized by scholars. The authors synthesize the recent literature and organize the findings according to Boyer�s four forms of scholarship (discovery, teaching, engagement, and integration). They then offer a counternarrative to faculty scholarly learning and the ways in which it is enacted and supported. Recommendations for developing, supporting, and evaluating faculty scholarly learning are also presented.

This volume answers: What does scholarly learning look like at different types of institutions? What contexts and/or supports hinder or help faculty members� scholarly learning at the different institutional types? What challenges are noted in the extant literature on faculty work around further study or better understanding of faculty members� scholarly learning across institutional types?
