The Journal on Excellence in College Teaching
The Journal on Excellence in College Teaching (JECT) is a peer-reviewed journal published at Miami University by and for faculty at universities and two- and four-year colleges to increase student learning through effective teaching, interest in and enthusiasm for the profession of teaching, and communication among faculty about their classroom experiences. It answers Ernest Boyer's (1990) call for a forum to present the scholarship of teaching and learning. The Journal provides a scholarly, written forum for discussion by faculty about all areas affecting teaching and learning, and gives faculty the opportunity to share proven, innovative pedagogies and thoughtful, inspirational insights about teaching. Featured are articles of teaching scholarship in four main categories: Research, Integration, Innovation, and Inspiration. The Journal regularly publishes issues devoted to subjects of special interest in teaching and learning scholarship such as The Teaching Portfolio (Volume 6, Number 1), Evaluation of Teaching (Volume 6, Number 3), and, most recently, Problem-Based Learning (Volume 11, Number 2/3). A complete sample issue and abstracts of all issues are available online free of charge. In addition to the online Journal, a print version is published three times a year.
