Because scholarship is often narrowly defined as original research leading to publication, the scholarly contributions of faculty at two-year institutions are often ignored. This monograph proposes a broad definition of scholarship appropriate for a teaching-oriented institution & suggests ways that community colleges can foster an institutional climate that encourages faculty involvement in scholarship within their disciplines. Individual essays examine issues: the factors that promote & discourage faculty scholarship; the relationship of faculty scholarship to teaching excellence; the role of the dean of instruction in promoting scholarship; & the scholarly roles played by teachers & classroom researchers. In addition, the monograph details the findings of a national survey of community college faculty undertaken to assess the types of scholarly work these faculty do, the types of support & encouragement faculty receive for this work & the ways faculty keep up with new developments in their teaching disciplines.
