Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
New Century College was founded on the presumption that traditional
modes of teaching in Higher Education need to be challenged and carefully
reviewed. Since 1995, NCC has been directly engaged in considering how
students learn, how learning can be improved, and different pedagogical
methods for teaching and learning. With this focus in mind, we:
- Explore major perspectives on how students learn such as different
kinds of learning styles and how to improve student learning;
- Conduct research in areas of teaching and learning including experiential
and service-learning, science education, collaboration in learning
communities, faculty roles and expectations, and technology enriched May 31, 2007hods and approaches for undertaking and assessing

- Develop theoretical frameworks for shaping thought about teaching
practices and student learning;
- Consider and develop different methods to assess student learning
and faculty teaching including portfolio-based assessment.
