§ 3.9.3.4 The Scholarship of Integration "involves the critical evaluation, synthesis, analysis, integration, or interpretation of the research or creative work produced by others."
Boyer (p. 18) "underscore[s] the need for scholars who give meaning to isolated facts, putting them in perspective. By integration, we mean making connections across the disciplines, placing the specialties in larger context, illuminating data in a revealing way, often educating nonspecialists too..."[It is] serious, disciplined work that seeks to interpret, draw together, and bring new insight to bear on original research.
§ 3.9.3.4 The Scholarship of Application "involves applying disciplinary expertise or the results of existing scholarship (produced by oneself or others) to the investigation or solution of intellectual, social, or institutional problems."
Boyer (p. 22-23) states that "[t]o be considered scholarship, service activities must be tied directly to one's special field of knowledge and relate to, and flow directly out of, this professional activity. Such service is serious, demanding work, requiting the rigor--and the accountability--traditionally associated with research activities."
§ 3.9.3.4 The Scholarship of Teaching "involves the use of one's expertise as a teacher to develop, transform, and extend the skills, methodology, and resources of pedagogy in artistic, disciplinary, or interdisciplinary teaching. It includes research and other creative work that focuses on the improvement of teaching and learning such as developing new pedagogies or pedagogical models that can be applied not only at Redlands but elsewhere in one's field."
§ 3.9.3.4 Peer Commentary and Review. "At the time of review, the University expects all members of the faculty--no matter which of the above categories of professional development characterizes their work--to produce tangible evidence of their ongoing research or artistic endeavor that has received favorable comment from disciplinary peers."
"Effective peer review can occur in many different ways, within and across disciplines, ranging from informal conversations (or e-mail exchanges) to written comments."
