Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Psychology is a peer-reviewed journal published by APA. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Psychology features teacher-ready reviews of current research, informed opinion pieces written by experts, and contemporary theories as well as empirical research designed to foster systematic intentional changes to improve teaching and learning outcomes.
Our mission is to leverage psychological science to provide resources that integrate research, theory, and practice to benefit high school, community college, college, and university educators and their students.
The journal publishes seven types of articles:
- Research Article: An original, empirical contribution that helps us understand and enhance teaching and learning via evidence-based conclusions.
- Teacher-Ready Research Review: A brief review of classic or contemporary research findings which have direct implications for teacher pedagogy and student learning, providing a translational platform from laboratory to classroom.
- Teacher-Ready Theory Review: A brief review of relevant classic or contemporary theories that have direct applications for the improvement of teaching and learning.
- Pedagogical Points to Ponder: A brief essay about new directions or topics that need to be studied, supported with citations from existing research (empirical evidence not needed).
- Virtual File Drawer: A brief contribution about new empirical research in which the intended/desired effects did not occur; much can be learned from studying well-designed research efforts which were ultimately unsuccessful.
- Virtual Keynotes: Exceptional scholars worldwide give keynote addresses/talks each year about teaching and learning; scholars are invited to develop their talk/address into a journal article with comprehensive citations.
- Cross-Fertilization Update: A means of fostering connections across subdisciplines within psychology (intradisciplinary) as well as outside of psychology (interdisciplinary) concerning the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Every published article is included in APA PsycInfo® and APA PsycArticles®, the world's most comprehensive and widely used psychological databases.
