For those going to the Academy:
AOM New Orleans Workshop: The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: From
Theory to Practice and Back
Saturday, 1-4 p.m., La Salle Room, Ritz Carlton Hotel.
Ernest Boyer stirred up a lot of debate about what constitutes Scholarship
with his book on the Scholarship of Teaching. Today the controversy has
settled into a movement to encourage faculty to approach their teaching with
the same rigor and curiosity that they bring to their disciplinary work. By
viewing teaching as an area of inquiry individual faculty can make
data-based decisions about their classes and how to help their students.
The workshop will focus on three themes:
The Scholarship of Teaching, Learning and Education. Roy J. Lewicki, Ohio
State University and outgoing editor of Academy of Management Learning and
Education, will discuss the importance of pedagogical scholarship in the
organizational sciences. He will use articles from recent issues of AMLE to
discuss how faculty can conduct better scholarship on teaching and learning
practices in management education.
Scholarly Teaching. James Bailey, George Washington University and incoming
editor of Academy of Management Learning and Education, will discuss a
mind-frame for approaching teaching with the same rigor and curiosity with
which one approaches research. He will talk about methods that can be used
to approach teaching in a reflective manner. Tools such as teaching
portfolios, teaching evaluation, and instructional diagnoses will be
discussed.
The Carnegie Perspective. John Miller, Bucknell University, will discuss the
work of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education and their pioneering
work on developing the scholarship of teaching as a national movement.
This workshop is co-sponsored by the Academy of Management Teaching
Committee and Academy of Management Learning and Education. For information,
