Objectives

Formerly known as the Journal of the NUS Teaching Academy (JNUSTA), it has been renamed as the Asian Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (AJSoTL) to reflect the Board’s decision to focus on issues in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), i.e. an emphasis on research-informed teaching and on explicit pedagogical reflection, as well as documentation of the pedagogical processes that drive classroom activities and student learning outcomes.

AJSoTL seeks to create and nurture a global network of academics and educators, who will discuss current practices and future trends in tertiary education.

The journal will provide a forum for educators from across the disciplines to showcase pedagogical innovations, present original research in teaching, assessment, and methodologies, and to discuss the teaching of core or life skills (such as critical thinking and communication skills; and issues of ethics and professionalism for example) that characterise a competent university graduate in a global economy.
