Description
The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) plays a critical role in shaping higher education by enhancing teaching practices and improving student learning outcomes. In Asia, SoTL takes on unique significance due to the region's rich diversity in cultural, historical, and social contexts. The integration of traditional values with modern educational approaches highlights the complexity and adaptability of SoTL in addressing global and local educational challenges. This evolving practice not only enriches academic research but also fosters innovative methodologies that resonate with the diverse needs of educators and learners across the region.
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in Asian Higher Education raises awareness about the importance of SoTL in Asia. It serves as a catalyst for educators to engage with SoTL practices. Covering topics such as cultural humility, pedagogy, and third space dynamics, this book is an excellent resource for educators, academic developers, institutional leaders, academicians, policymakers, and more.
