Abstract
Two centuries of scholarly practices have transformed the way research is done. The modern research group, as a relatively recent advance, provides faculty advisors and students with a mutually beneficial relationship, namely, taking on large and complex scientific problems in exchange for scholarly professional development. An argument for understanding the scholarship of teaching and learning is made by defining, and then broadening, a basis set of four characteristics of scholarship in research.
Supplement
A Brief History of Scholarship: 1000–1990 is available. In this essay, the author traces the evolution of the term "scholar" from a reference to schoolchildren to its familiar, 20th century synonym for "an academic researcher".
