The American Physiological Society Teaching Section has developed a biennial Institute on Teaching and Learning (ITL) through the APS Conference Program. The first ITL was held in June 2014, and the second ITL will be in June 2016. A Physiology Education Community of Practice was created to help connect the institute participants and other physiology educators to share evidence-based teaching in physiology at all education levels and ideas for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and Discipline-Based Education Research in physiology. This editorial describes the origins and outcomes of the ITL and the advantages of joining the Physiology Education Community of Practice.

Time And Energy

Chapter 0 calls for wide participation in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) by faculty at all types of institutions, including faculty active in traditional research. The chapter provides examples of many well-known scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who eventually devoted significant time and energy to improving education in their disciplinary fields. While acknowledging the difficulty of doing both traditional research and SoTL, it cautions against ruling out the possibility of undertaking a scholarly study of learning simply because of lack of expertise in education research. Numerous benefits that may accrue to instructors who do investigate learning in their own classrooms are described.

Over Time

Cultivating a community of faculty to support Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) work at universities can be challenging. There are many obstacles to overcome—obstacles such as how to sustain such efforts over time. The Center for Educational Excellence set out to design a strategic plan designed to address certain barriers to SoTL work and to create a long-standing community of practice for a SoTL group of faculty members—a group that has lasted over nine years to date. This chapter outlines strategies employed over the years and the evolution of the interdisciplinary group from a learning community to community of practice. The stories of past and present members are included along with advice on how others may have successful programs at their universities.

Practice Gap

The research-practice gap refers to the failure of empirical effectiveness research to translate meaningfully into practical applications. In higher education research, this is evident in the low use or uptake of evidence-based practices in college classrooms. To help address the research-practice gap, educational researchers can draw on theories, frameworks, and methodologies from implementation science. Implementation science is a field of research originating in public health specifically designed to study the variables related to the process of getting evidence-based practices into routine use. The present study adapted multiple frameworks and validated measures of implementation outcomes to identify the facilitators to and barriers of implementing a motivational intervention in university-level general psychology courses. The results highlight organizational, instructor, and student-level factors that influence implementation. The study itself provides a demonstration of how to incorporate elements of implementation science into higher education research.

Starting Point

In this article, a model of evidence-based practice is presented that engaged graduate students and instructors from the discipline of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) in evidence-based education through the use of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). This article can serve as a starting point for other instructors interested in engaging in SoTL in their own CSD classrooms.
