Enhancing the scholarship of teaching and learning: the interplay between teaching and research
by Patricia Almeida, Jose Joaquim Teixeira-Dias, Jorge Medina
International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies (IJTCS), Vol. 2, No. 3/4, 2010

Abstract: The goal of this essay is to illustrate how the scholarship of teaching and learning can be enhanced through the development of action research projects rooted in students' questioning, and conceived and implemented by both university teachers and educational researchers. Valuing and stimulating students' questions adds an innovative dimension to undergraduate science education as it gives students a central role in the learning process. Consequently, encouraging students' questioning also strengthens teaching-research links by bringing teachers and learners together in a community of enquiry.
