Case Studies in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Offering a series of empirical case studies in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) this book discusses and reflect upon efforts, ideas, and initiatives that seek to shift higher education beyond the pedagogic norms, conventions, and orthodoxies in a research-intensive university located in Singapore.

Readers will benefit from discussions of the ideas, intentions, and outcomes of creative pedagogical experiments and first-hand accounts and reflections on these experiences by the faculty who initiated and carried them out. The chapters place deliberate emphasis on developing a deeper understanding of how the unique influences from culture and context figures in higher education pedagogies and SoTL efforts, which is vital for navigating the complexities of global higher education.

The book will be of interest to faculty, SoTL, and higher education researchers and practitioners who are interested to see what the experiences, challenges, and outcomes of high-quality SoTL innovations might look like in the Asia-Pacific context.
