According to Boyer (1990), "Scholarly investigation, in all the disciplines, is at the very heart of academic life, and the pursuit of knowledge must be assiduously cultivated and defended. The intellectual excitement fueled by this quest enlivens faculty and invigorates higher learning institutions, and in our complicated, vulnerable world, the discover of new knowledge is absolutely critical."
The Scholarship of Discovery page outlines scholarly, original research pursuits by the School of Education faculty.
Scholarship of Integration
According to Boyer (1990), "what we mean is serious, disciplined work that seeks to interpret, draw together, and bring new insight to bear on original research."
The Scholarship of Integration page outlines interdisciplinary, interpretive, and/or integrative research pursuits by the School of Education faculty.
Scholarship of Application
According to Boyer (1990), "New intellectual understandings can arise out of the very act of application - whether in medical diagnosis, serving clients in psychotherapy, shaping public policy, creating an architectural design, or working with the public schools. In activities such as these, theory and practice vitally interact, and one renews the other."
The Scholarship of Application page outlines service pursuits by the School of Education faculty tied directly to their special field of knowledge.
Scholarship of Teaching
According to Boyer (1990), "inspired teaching keeps the flame of scholarship alive. Almost all successful academics give credit to creative teachers - those mentors who defined their work so compellingly that it became, for them, a lifetime challenge. Without the teaching function, the continuity of knowledge will be broken and the store of human knowledge dangerously diminished."
The Scholarship of Teaching page outlines how members of the School of Education faculty
