Abstract

One of the central foci established in other academies and organizations (e.g., Academy of Management, Western Academy of Management, Eastern Academy of Management, American Association of Higher Education, and the Society of Human Resource Management) is that of the scholarship of teaching and learning in academic classrooms. In 1990 Ernest Boyer published a groundbreaking book titled Scholarship Reconsidered. He introduced the concept of four scholarships: 1) the scholarship of discovery; 2) the scholarship of application; 3) the scholarship of integration, and 4) the scholarship of teaching and learning. Since that time, the attention directed towards scholarly activities (e.g., research, journal publications, conference presentations, dialogue) on the scholarship of teaching and learning in many fields has dramatically increased. Although the Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD) has provided a forum for scholarly research and discussion around the topics of training and development within workplaces, we have just begun to offer opportunities for our membership to learn and discuss innovative ideas for improving our own teaching within HRD undergraduate and graduate classrooms.

The AHRD Board of Directors recently made it a strategic priority to foster activities that will support professors and academic programs. As a result, AHRD has recently founded the Program Excellence Network (PEN) which is dedicated to strengthening HRD programs and promoting excellence in teaching HRD.
