Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

is an independent policy and research center called to “do and perform all things necessary to encourage, uphold, and dignify the profession of the teacher and the cause of higher education.”

founded in 1916, is concerned with improving the educational process by encouraging scholarly inquiry related to education and evaluation and by promoting the dissemination and practical application of research results.

founded on the principle of post-secondary student-centered learning from its outset, this organization’s name altered several times over as it blended with, or absorbed, other societies with similar interests and aims. The annual conference not only supports such learning, but also encourages interactive sessions that illustrate active learning, and the annual Conference Proceedings document this alongside the Society’s highly competitive online journal, the International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, which has developed a global readership.
