Teaching philosophy defines the beliefs and ideas that guide practices in teaching and learning. Writing teaching philosophy statements for promotion or employment is daunting for inexperienced new faculty members.
This article aims to discuss the principles of relevant educational domains that academics need to know to be well informed when writing their teaching philosophy. It also provides a new perspective on how to write the personal statements.
Journal articles published in English language between 2018 and 2023 (as well as important older ones) in electronic databases (Google Scholar, MEDLINE, PubMed, and SCOPUS) were searched, sifted, reviewed and used for this narrative literature review. Additionally, the websites of educational organisations such as higher education institutions were selected using convenience sampling method and searched to ascertain practices.
Educators need to link teaching philosophy statements to the literature about teaching. However, there is a scarcity of literature that provides a comprehensive overview of the required domain knowledge. These domains are Supervision, Curriculum development, Assessment, Mentorship, Pedagogy, and Scholarship of teaching and learning (S-CAMPS domains).
Using various teaching practices and models to achieve the best quality learning and valued transformation is crucial in achieving a comprehensive Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Therefore, developing a personal philosophy provides the opportunity for reflection on utilizing the theory-practice-philosophy perspective best to serve the students, academic institution, and society.
教学理念定义了指导教学实践的信念和观念。对于缺乏经验的新教员来说，撰写用于晋升或求职的教学理念陈述是一项艰巨的任务。
本文旨在探讨学者在撰写教学理念时需要了解的相关教育领域的原则，以便充分了解情况。它还为如何撰写个人陈述提供了一个新的视角。
检索、筛选、审查了2018年至2023年期间（以及重要的早期文献）在电子数据库（谷歌学术、医学期刊数据库、PubMed和Scopus）中发表的英文期刊文章，并将其用于本叙述性文献综述。此外，采用便利抽样法选择了高等教育机构等教育组织的网站并进行搜索，以确定实践情况。
教育工作者需要将教学理念陈述与有关教学的文献联系起来。然而，缺乏提供所需领域知识全面概述的文献。这些领域包括监督、课程开发、评估、指导、教学法以及教学学术（S-CAMPS领域）。
运用各种教学实践和模式来实现最佳质量的学习和有价值的转变，对于实现全面的教学学术至关重要。因此，形成个人理念为反思如何最好地利用理论-实践-理念视角为学生、学术机构和社会服务提供了机会。
