About this Journal

Overview

The Journal of Effective Teaching in Higher Education (JETHE) is an open-access electronic peer-reviewed journal that advances the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) focused on institutions of higher education. JETHE publishes original research articles (between 3,000 and 6,000 words) employing a diverse range of rigorous qualitative and quantitative scholarly research methodologies.  

Focus and Scope

Typically published twice per year, the journal seeks to foster the following:

• Scholarly exploration of best practices in effective teaching in post-secondary education that can be appreciated by instructors across disciplines and institutional contexts.
• Encourage critical conversations about SoTL from faculty members with international and/or interdisciplinary perspectives;
• Contribute to conversations about differences in effective teaching practices among institutional contexts, including traditional and non-traditional learning environments (i.e., online/hybrid models; interdisciplinary programs; heterogeneous student populations); using evidence-based and theoretically informed scholarship.
• Provide a forum for faculty and course instructors to reflect upon and share strategies, outcomes or projected outcomes, and recommendations resulting from their engagement with new, innovative, and/or reenvisioned teaching practices.
