Key Articles:
Shulman, Lee S. “From Minsk to Pinsk: Why A Scholarship of Teaching and Learning?” The Journal of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Vol. 1, No. 1 (2000). Shulman is one of the “parents” of SoTL, and this article is a key early position statement.
Barr, R.B., and J. Tagg. From Teaching to Learning: A New Paradigm for Undergraduate Education. Change 27, 6 (1995). The journal article that defined a fundamental shift from the teacher-centered classroom to one that was student- and learner-centered.
Bass, Randy. “The Scholarship of Teaching: What’s the Problem?” Invention: Creative Thinking About Learning and Teaching, 1, 1 (1999). This article changes the conversation about teaching, framing the concept of a “problem” as something to be investigated by research rather than fixed by remediation.
The Boyer Commission on Educating Undergraduates in the Research University. Reinventing Undergraduate Education: A Blueprint for America's Research Universities (1998). Extending the implication of the 1990 Boyer report Scholarship Reconsidered, this work lays out ten ways to change undergraduate education so as to enhance student learning.
Chickering, A.W., and Gamson, Z.F. “Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education.” AAHE Bulletin, 39, 7 (1987). Principles for designing courses in ways that reinforce student learning. The principles are based on extensive research and continue to be backed up by ongoing research into how people learn.
