Pedagogical Inquiry and Practice (PIP) is a new Canadian, peer-reviewed journal of scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). It is dedicated to studies of significant educational experience in post-secondary institutions, using a range of theoretical, methodological, and disciplinary approaches.
SoTL is a field that is interdisciplinary by nature and is organized around its applied and practice-oriented focus. It is grounded in the context of learning, seeing teaching as an ever-evolving and scholarly process that seeks to improve learning. As such, SoTL research often centres on student experiences and participation in their learning processes.
PIP is focused on the critical inquiry into the many elements of SoTL (including but not limited to): assessment, teaching practice, innovative course design, education technology, curriculum, the use of and ethics around artificial intelligence, accessibility and universal design for learning, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and reflective professional practice.
An important focus for PIP will be the scholarship of teaching and learning coming out of post-secondary classrooms. PIP is housed in a teaching university, so it aims to highlight the value of these teaching-centred institutions. Our journal prioritizes research coming from practice, which can be applied to practice.
