The Scholarships of Teaching and Pedagogy: Time to Abandon the Distinction?

Abstract

We surveyed the editorial board of Teaching of Psychology regarding their perspectives on the distinction between the scholarships of teaching and pedagogy. Respondents provided wide-ranging and divergent answers to our queries, suggesting that scholarship, its attendant activities, and distinctions among related terms are complex issues in need of further clarification. We suggest that the distinction between the scholarships of teaching and pedagogy is unclear and unnecessary.
