Abstract
In this critical essay, the authors delineate bottlenecks related to the Decoding the Disciplines movement’s long-term goal of more fully integrating itself within the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), especially in navigating the complex and multi-disciplinary relationship(s) between theory, practice, and scholarship. The authors posit a distinctive role for the Decoding framework as a conceptual bridge that enables practitioners to integrate theories of their own choosing into their SoTL work, thereby enriching both research and teaching practice.
