The scholarship of teaching and its implications for practice

Poised on the cusp of a new century in a world that wrestles with a multitude of; difficulties, the university must fulfil a more well- rounded mission. New generations; of college- goers need scholarly teachers to help them prepare for a time when; global interdependency is much more than a slogan. Knowledge, for all the glory and; splendour of the act of pure discovery, remains incomplete without the insights of; those who can best show how to integrate and apply it. (Glassick, Huber, and Maeroff; 1997:10)
