Scope
The editors welcome submissions on all current and pertinent aspects of teaching and learning, particularly matters of inclusivity, authenticity, and twenty-first century readiness. However, beyond these matters, we invite fresh perspectives to Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The scope of the journal is multidisciplinary and international in its reach and work selected for publication sees to foster the development of praxis around higher education practice.
The editors especially invite scholarship from all practitioners who design, adopt, assess, evaluate, and research either first-person or a combination first-, second- and third-person inquiry, methods, and practices.
Given the long-held dominance of third-person inquiry in the neoliberal academy, Patterns of Practice especially seeks to amplify first-person inquiry of practitioners and students in an endeavour to unearth both alternative ways of knowing in higher education and alternative visions of higher education.
While nurturing and publicising inquiry, creativity and criticality within higher education, Patterns of Practice also seeks to stimulate, provoke, and extend discussion and debate with other professionals associated with this field.
Published twice a year (Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer), Patterns of Practice adopts an open, critical, reflective, and interdisciplinary approach to SOTL. Issues are ‘themed’ around ‘big ideas’ that encompass the emotive, collaborative, and critical aspects of SOTL. Launched around the theme (Volume 1, Issue 1) of ‘Authenticity’, subsequent issues will explore themes of ‘Ambition’, ‘Risk’, ‘Desire’, ‘Uncertainty’, ‘Partnership’, ‘Intention’ and ‘Confidence’.
