Scholarship in Student Affairs through Teaching and Research.

This essay examines the meaning of scholarship in student affairs from teaching and research perspectives. It suggests that the scholarship of teaching needs more emphasis within the field of student affairs. Several concerns related to what is taught, how it is taught, and to whom it is taught are addressed. The essay also suggests that the scholarship of research should not be limited to empiricism and the generation and testing of theories. It argues that various notions of research should be considered as scholarship as long as rigorous, traditional, methodological standards are practiced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
