The scholarly approach and empirical evidence in “Teachers and Learning” (Hutchings, Huber & Ciccone, 2011, Chapter 2) provided me with the scientific and social support I needed to publically challenge existing norms regarding teaching practices, reevaluate my data collection efforts, and advocate for change based on best practices, not on tradition, both inside my classroom and beyond. So there I was, less than a year into my first assistant professor position, teaching on a July afternoon in a poorly vented classroom in Texas. I was deeply involved in an animated lecture about an event I had experienced as a public school teacher that beautifully demonstrated a concept for the Educational Psychology course I was teaching, when a student in the front row looked at her watch. At that moment, I questioned everything I knew about teaching. I froze mid-sentence and stared in disbelief at the students in the room. How could they consider checking the time in the midst of my thoroughlyresearched, well-crafted example? How could they be distracted by hunger or heat in the room with such an excellent example of faculty engagement, enthusiasm, and preparation before them? How could they be anticipating the end of class, just 20","PeriodicalId":30055,"journal":{"name":"InSight A Journal of Scholarly Teaching","volume":"8 1","pages":"26-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70554216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Utopia University: A Faculty Member Reflects on Recommendations for the Future of SoTL.","authors":"Krista D. Forrest","doi":"10.46504/08201311fo","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46504/08201311fo","url":null,"abstract":"I am fortunate. I work in a department where the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is actively pursued and has been for over 20 years. Colleagues have presented at several teaching conferences within the discipline of psychology, and many have published articles on subjects ranging from working with undergraduates in research partnerships to the effects of using different technologies in the classroom. In addition to departmental support, my small midwestern university’s promotion and tenure policy has a statement that specifically recognizes peer-reviewed SoTL as counting toward promotion and tenure. This statement includes a web link to the first Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Report, Rethinking What it Means to be a Scholar (Rice, 1990). 2 This does not mean the fight for SoTL has ceased on my campus. As stated by Hutchings, Huber, and Ciccone (2011), sometimes the battle is not with the university, but with individual departments that hold onto the notion that only discipline specific scholarship is worthy of praise. Although I often encouraged faculty who developed new pedagogical techniques to write about these experiences and submit manuscripts to relevant teaching journals in their discipline, they often replied, “Why would I do that, it won’t count?” and “It’s not real scholarship.” It appears the greater concern about the role of SoTL does not come from the university, or even the college, but often starts with each faculty member. One of the highlights of Hutchings et al. (2011) is the authors’ discussion of Utopia University. They describe a campus of the future where faculty members’ SoTL has gone on to change departments and as the departments changed, so did the institution. The goal at Utopia U is to assist students in becoming “expert learners” (p. 113). The University does this through first year seminars, capstone courses taken by juniors, and ongoing programs designed to help each student understand the learning process that best works for him or her. Faculty also strive to learn by conducting research in their own classes. These outcomes are then used in changing courses to best respond to current and even future students. Those same faculty feel encouraged to conduct this research because they know that, if published, it will count toward promotion and tenure. The administration at Utopia U is happy to financially support this work because they know that one way to guarantee the accreditation crucial to their existence is to have excellent, productive faculty who inspire their students to perform at their best. Hutchings et al. (2011) go on to make several recommendations for institutions to follow if they want to integrate SoTL into their climates.

First, SoTL matters because learning matters, and SoTL can help students learn more effectively. Second, it offers professors the tools to more effectively share their disciplinary passions. Third, it offers faculty an avenue for continued intellectual growth. Fourth, SoTL can build strong crossdisciplinary communities that enliven the intellectual climate. Fifth, it can inform institutional policymaking. Finally, SoTL matters even when it does not directly transform institutional policy, because SoTL embodies a spirit of pedagogical innovation that enlivens the quest for learning and reminds us why it is worth pursuing.","PeriodicalId":30055,"journal":{"name":"InSight A Journal of Scholarly Teaching","volume":"8 1","pages":"12-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70554062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
