ABSTRACT
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is often viewed as a secondary tier of research which consequently contributes to its undervalued status amongst many academicians. However, Higher Education (HE) aims to empower students with the ability to comprehend, analyze, solve problems, apply theories relevant practices, as well as being imbued with a greater appreciation of the knowledge gained from the teaching and learning (T&L) sessions, all as a means of preparing for their integration as a part of Society 5.0. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the migration from face-to-face learning to online and hybrid learning across all institutions of HE, even including those which are typically skills and practice-based. The current situation has effectively catalyzed the importance of SoTL in ensuring the process of teaching and learning at institutions of HE can still be effectively conducted, even during the enforcement of lockdown measures. This study aims to describe the fundamentals and methods for conducting SoTL. Additionally, several case studies of SoTL conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic are reviewed and discussed, mainly to exemplify SoTL practices in institutions of HE. These findings are expected to provide new ideas, strategies, as well as guidelines for conducting SoTL at HE level in the present uncertain conditions. Scholars from SoTL-focus disciplines are strongly recommended to collaborate with those from other disciplines to overcome the tidal wave of uncertainty and complexity of T&L in a post-Covid-19 reality. © 2023 Author(s).
