Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate.
Key Points
To propose a new framework that redefines the priorities of scholarship within academia.
Identified and detailed four core areas of scholarship: discovery, integration, application, and teaching.
Examined how these areas interconnect to form a cohesive approach to academic work.
Proposed a paradigm shift that emphasizes a balanced focus on all four scholarship areas instead of prioritizing one over the others.
Abstract
Abstract Proposes a new paradigm of scholarship with four interlocking parts. Scholarship of discovery; Scholarship of integration; Scholarship of application; Scholarship of teaching.
