Notă biografică
Nancy Chick is a SoTL scholar, scholarly teacher, and faculty developer. After earning her PhD in American literature from the University of Georgia and eventually Full Professor from the University of Wisconsin Colleges, she left full-time faculty work to focus on the scholarship of teaching and learning and faculty development first at Vanderbilt University, then the University of Calgary, and now at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida (USA). She has authored and co-authored numerous articles and book chapters on the results of SoTL projects and on the field of SoTL. She is also editor of SoTL in Action: Illuminating Critical Moments of Practice (Stylus, 2018), co-editor (with Jennifer C. Friberg) of Going Public Reconsidered: Engaging With the World Beyond Academe Through the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (Stylus, 2022) and (with Regan A.R. Gurung & Aeron Haynie) of Exploring Signature Pedagogies: Approaches to Teaching Disciplinary Habits of Mind (Stylus, 2009) and Exploring More Signature Pedagogies: Approaches to Teaching Disciplinary Habits of Mind (Stylus, 2012), and founding co-editor (with Gary Poole) of Teaching & Learning Inquiry, the journal of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning/ISSOTL (2011-2020). From 2019-22, she served on the ISSOTL Presidential team and (with Chng Huang Hoon) as ISSOTL Co-President during 2020-21 — at the height of the pandemic.

Recenzii
"Teaching is an art that is deeply informed by both values and experiences. The craft of teaching is often a continuous discovery of a better understanding and critically, a reflection of students’ learning. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) provides the knowledge and a set of practices to advance both teaching and learning processes in the classroom. In SoTL in Action, scholars of various academic disciplines make an attempt to answer numerous questions that range from what the key moments of successful teaching are such as the way in which teachers-scholars can plan, design, and implement SoTL projects. Based on procedural vignettes, it helps to analyse and reflect on key steps and critical points that obscure, frustrate, or sometimes puzzle most of the practitioners. By breaking down the process via various examples and bringing forth a vital moment of research, the book inspires teacher-scholars in the arts and humanities who want to reflect on their own teaching from the perspective of their students, question their assumptions, and make them visible.
Nancy L. Chick’s aim of this book is to target educational developers and teacher-scholars in order to enlighten and educate them about SoTL practices. Additionally, she wants to motivate qualified SoTL scholars to mirror their practices. It is a very convincing collection of ideas and multidimensional approaches that anyone who has some interest in advancing the teaching and learning quality, intentional design, and practitioner reflection can substantially utilize. Everyone always needs some new knowledge, and that is what the edited volume has to offer for its readers. With the willingness to develop professionally, the book provides an innovative platform. Readers are invited to take a seat with a variety of experts and have a meaningful and deep conversation about the fundamental elements of SoTL. As far as one has an interest in the field regardless of professional status and discipline, the encouragement is that instructors should brainstorm and get into the action with better clarity and reasoning."

"In putting the book together, editor Nancy L. Chick does not want to introduce SoTL in the abstract, but wishes to illumine critical moments in practice through vignettes and examples. Each chapter is like listening to a colleague reflecting on a particular issue in SoTL, drawing concrete examples from classroom practice and research. In the chapter on using questionnaires, for example, the author does not provide a step-by-step guide to creating a questionnaire. Rather, the author shows how he reflects on the big-picture conceptual issue questions related to SoTL when designing the questionnaire. Each chapter includes a helpful reference pointing to further readings.
The discussion throughout the book is engaging and shows the authors’ commitment to teaching and to SoTL. It motivates us to become better teachers through engagement with the literature in SoTL. It is encouraging for those of us not trained in social-scientific methods to see that classroom observation and closing reading of student artifacts can also produce SoTL. The chapter on classroom observation explains the process of involving other colleagues to observe teaching in action."
The Wabash Center Journal on Teaching
“SoTL in Action is a distinctly different – and distinctly wonderful – book about the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Readers are invited to sit down with a diverse range of experts for inviting in-depth conversations about central aspects of SoTL. Whether you’re new to or experienced with SoTL, this book will encourage you to think – and to act – with more clarity and purpose as a scholar of learning and teaching.”

“This book is quite simply essential reading for anyone engaged in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. It brings together a virtual Who’s Who of SoTL across the disciplines and across methodologies, and the essays assembled here touch on every important issue in the field. Whether you are new to SoTL or are an experienced practitioner, this book is for you.”
Mills Kelly, President
International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
"This book rises above others. Compiled by giant scholars of SoTL, it does what it promises – gives a delicious smorgasbord of action accounts of SoTL. These accounts are well-grounded, thoughtful, inclusive and encouraging. A must-read for anyone interested in SoTL. The book’s focus on critical moments of practice helps readers to see, perhaps new, crucial aspects of SoTL. And, as we know, seeing those new aspects helps us learn. So, take this opportunity to learn!"

Descriere
This book takes discussions of SoTL to a new level. Its subtitle reflects the microscopic lenses SoTL processes can apply to student learning experiences to understand how they happen, what they look like, what they mean, and what we can do about them.
