Abstarct:
There are many general books and articles on publishing in peer-reviewed journals,
but few specifically address issues around writing for journals focused
on the Scholarship of
Teaching and Learning (SoTL).
Keywords:
SoTL, academic journal writing, SoTL identity, writing genres, writing as a value-
based process, discourse conversational communities,
empirical research articles, conceptual
articles, reflective essays, opinion pieces
One of the challenges of beginning to write about teaching and learning is that most scholars
have become interested in exploring these issues in higher education alongside their disciplinary
interests and have to grapple with a new literature and sometimes unfamiliar methods and genres,
as well. Hence, for many, as they write about their projects, they are simultaneously forging their
identities as scholars of teaching and learning. We discuss the process of producing four types of
SoTL-focused writing for peer-reviewed journals: empirical research articles, conceptual articles,
reflective essays, and opinion pieces. Our goal is to support both new and experienced scholars
of teaching and teaching— faculty/academics, professional staff, and students—as they nurture
and further develop their voices and their identities as scholars of
teaching and learning and
strive to contribute to the enhancement of learning and teaching in higher education. We pose
three related sets of overarching questions for consideration when writing about teaching and
learning for peer-reviewed journals and offer heuristic frameworks
for publishing in the four
specific writing genres listed above. We also discuss how to get started with writing, preparing to
submit, and responding to reviewers, focusing on the importance of contributing to and creating
scholarly conversations about teaching and learning. Finally, using the metaphor of being in
conversation, we argue that writing is a values-based process that
contributes to the identity
formation of scholars of teaching and learning and their sense of belonging within the SoTL
discourse community.
Teaching how to write effectively is one of the most important
life-long skills educators
impart to their students. When teaching writing, educators must be sure to select resources and
support materials that not only aid them in teaching how to write, but that will also be the most
effective in helping their students learn to write.
Time4Writing.com offers educators a number of resources that assist in teaching writing.
Teachers will find free writing resources on grading, writing conventions, and the use of graphic
organizers. There are also valuable articles and activities on other related writing topics, like
sentence writing,
paragraph writing, and essay writing. The articles provide information and
guidance, while the activities motivate students to practice their skills with printable worksheets,
quizzes, video lessons, and interactive games. Students love learning and practicing skills using
technology, which makes online courses a great way to keep them interested and motivated to
learn to write.
