“…Additionally, the frequency of the inclusion of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) was evaluated because of the traditionally lesser acceptance of this type of scholarship, its growing interest among pharmacy educators, and the repeated calls for defining its value within PT criteria. [26][27][28][29] The initial coding scheme was independently tested by the authors (authors AS, AB, KH, AF) and subsequently refined by the research team using an iterative process. Once the coding scheme was finalized (Appendix), documents were randomly assigned for coding by one of the authors (AS, AB, or KH), and each document was coded in MAXQDA.…”

“…16 In the report of the AACP 2017-2018 Academic Affairs Standing Committee, Fulford and colleagues acknowledged institutional bias against SOTL, stating it is often considered "lesser or secondary" to other scholarship. 17 The committee strongly advocated for SOTL as an expectation of pharmacy teaching faculty, citing the convergence of many significant drivers of change in teaching and learning in academic pharmacy. 17 Specifically, they called for pharmacy schools to ensure that promotion and tenure policy and guideline documents identify and assess the SOTL similarly to other types of scholarship, with emphasis on the quality, significance, and impact of the individual's work.…”

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) is one of four traditionally defined domains of research. Yet faculty members who pursue the SOTL may feel disadvantaged because of its relatively low perceived value by many institutions. Thus, interested faculty members may relegate the SOTL to a limited, secondary line of research and instead pursue other types of research that appear to be more highly valued by the institution. This commentary explores the benefits to the institution when the SOTL is expressly valued and purposefully supported. We advocate for a multifaceted approach by which pharmacy education leaders can examine how the SOTL is valued, encouraged, and supported through organizational structure and policy. Approaches to solidify and communicate the institutional value of the SOTL are discussed. Specific attention to ensure the SOTL is represented in rewards and incentive systems, such as the college or school's promotion and tenure policies, may empower faculty members to pursue success in this area of research.

White paper on the scholarship of teaching and learning: Expanding the academic pharmacy promotion and tenure process

et al. 2022

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) represents one of four well-defined areas of research. Historically, pharmacy institutions have failed to factor the SoTL into the promotion and tenure considerations of their faculty. Without acknowledgement or incentive for their efforts, faculty may be forced to abandon innovative teaching research to pursue research options more highly valued by their institution. This white paper investigates the SoTL definition described by colleges of pharmacy around the world, and the weight with which the SoTL is considered in the promotion of their faculty. The authors conclude there is considerable variability in the SoTL definition across institutions. Additionally, many institutions have not updated their policies to include the SoTL in promotion and tenure considerations. The authors recommend that all colleges of pharmacy adopt the SoTL as defined in this paper, and that all colleges update their promotion and tenure guidelines to include the SoTL in career advancement considerations.
