What is Scholarship in relation to Teaching and Learning The National Protocols for Higher Education Approval Processes also require that the academic staff of all higher education providers, not just of universities, are 'active in scholarship that informs their teaching'. Scholarship in relation to learning and teaching involves: - demonstrating current subject knowledge and an ongoing intellectual engagement in primary and allied disciplines, and their theoretical underpinnings;
- keeping abreast of the literature and new research, including by interaction with peers, and using that knowledge to inform learning and teaching;
- encouraging students to be critical, creative thinkers and enhancing teaching understanding through interaction with students;
- engaging in relevant professional practice where appropriate to the discipline;
- being informed about the literature of learning and teaching in relevant disciplines and being committed to ongoing development of teaching practice; and
- focusing on the learning outcomes of students.
