Most pharmacy faculty members are more confident in their foundation as research scientists or clinical pharmacists than with the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). However, many wish to enter this rewarding field of scholarship in order to test pedagogical innovations, measure teaching effectiveness, and share success with the Academy. This commentary provides general advice for those who wish to explore SoTL but lack formal education and training in this area. Four opportunities are highlighted: educational research, small activities and projects, course redesign, and longitudinal assessment and evaluation.
大多数药学教师对自己作为研究科学家或临床药师的基础更有信心,而不是对教学学术(SoTL)有信心。然而,许多人希望进入这一有益的学术领域,以检验教学创新,衡量教学效果,并与学会分享成功。本评论为那些希望探索 SoTL 但缺乏该领域正规教育和培训的人提供了一般性建议。其中突出了四个机会:教育研究、小活动和项目、课程重新设计以及纵向评估和评价。
