Towards Enhanced Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

The conference proceedings of the 4th and 5th International Conferences on Effective Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (2013–2015).

Towards Enhanced Scholarship of Teaching and Learning presents a transformative perspective on teaching and learning in higher education. This book comprises a compilation of research and practical strategies derived from the annual conferences organized by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) at the American University of Beirut. Empirical investigations covering a range of topics are explored, including reflective teaching practices, perceptions of soft skills among undergraduate engineering students, the implementation of team-based learning communities, a case study on student perceptions of bilingual Arabic-English instructors, and the utilization of translation as a tool to enhance English writing.

Best practices are also examined, encompassing insights on MOOCs from both student and educator perspectives, the benefits of teacher blogging, the fostering of community-based learning, and the effective integration of technology in e-learning and pedagogy. By embracing this resource, educators, administrators, and graduate students are empowered with evidence-based approaches to elevate the quality of teaching and foster student success in higher education.
