Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, Volume 7, Number 3

Classroom research based on systematic evaluation of classroom strategies provides building blocks for the improvement of pedagogy in higher education. As each instructor evaluates and reports on how methods impact student learning, we are able to construct theories to be applied and tested in other settings. It is in this way that the scholarship of teaching--in fact, any scholarship--moves closer to providing guidance for both new and experienced practitioners. The articles in this issue all present models of classroom research on improving student learning.
