Manuscript Submission Guidelines

The Scholarly Teacher accepts 1200- to 2000-word manuscripts* grounded in one of Boyer’s 4 Types of Scholarships (Discovery, Integration, Application, Teaching and Learning) for consideration.

​

We recognize that scholarship in teaching and learning extends far beyond the scholarship of teaching and learning. We draw on Boyer's 4 Types of Scholarship to recognize and categorize the work done by our higher education colleagues every day -- in the classroom, the lab, office hours, formal experimentation, and anecdotal experiences -- and aim to share that work through publication on The Scholarly Teacher. 

Boyer's 4 Types of Scholarship

Consider whether your contribution falls most accurately under 

·       Scholarship of Discovery

·       Scholarship of Integration

·       Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

·       Scholarship of Application

​

Manuscripts may also best be categorized using more than one of these scholarships.

Which Scholarship?

​

  • Integration

    • Definition: Consideration of novel techniques or novel interpretations of existing knowledge, without necessarily applying a traditional study design. These articles could be considerations of hypothetical scenarios, compare-and-contrast, “think pieces,” narratives, etc. while still providing novel information based in evidence and the literature.

    • Example: Purposefully Incorporating Technology into the Classroom Using the SAMR Model

​

​

  • Teaching and Learning

    • Definition: More than any other type of scholarship, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is an approach and report that can be embraced in an instructor’s day to day. It is the recognition of the formal and informal hypothesizing, implementing, adjusting, observing, revising, and sharing about strategies that takes place in the classroom. These may take the form of personal narratives, anecdotes, case studies, or other instances of information exchange focused on improving pedagogy.

    • Example: Community From a Distance: Building a Sense of Belonging in an Online Classroom
