Reconsidering Scholarship

Following the publication of Scholarship Reconsidered in 1990, debates began on many campuses regarding the expansion of the definition of scholarship. These debates focused on the appropriateness of the scholarship of discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of application, and the scholarship of teaching. These conversations were enriched by the six standards for assessment proposed in Scholarship Assessed, published in 1996. Now these concepts prosper on many campuses as individual institutions find their own interpretations and adaptations of enriched and expanded scholarship.
