"There were several pieces of information that were valuable,even to someone with a different education background. No doubtthere is even more valuable information for readers who are not insuch a specific specialty as nursing, but instead are educationgeneralists." (Metapsychology, March 2010) "This book will be an invaluable resource for thosefaculty who do not know how to get started in SoTL. For faculty whoare already involved in SoTL research, the book provides a wealthof research strategies that can provide new research avenues. Ican't wait to have this book on my shelf!" Randolph A. Smith, Lamar University "This is a hugely engaging volume which deals with bothpedagogical research and findings from the pedagogical researchliterature. It is highly accessible and the committment of theauthors, expressed in their dedication, to those who 'careabout teaching and student learning' shines through. The besttribute to such a volume is that it will be used and thatteacher-researchers will in turn develop their own more nuanced andcritical instruments and research questions." Sue Clegg, Leeds Metropolitan University "Overall, this book provides a great deal ofinformation regarding teaching and learning practices, apedagogical approach, and a touch of the application ofresearch...Helpful pearls of wisdom within."
