Advancing Pedagogy in Health Promotion: Innovations in Student Participation, Place-Based Pedagogy, and Service Learning

Positioning the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Firmly in the Center of Health Promotion Pedagogy

“…In essence, this applied work helps us to implement what works for educators and practitioners of health promotion and public health. Commentaries involving perspectives on pedagogy help us to delve more deeply into teaching within the context of public health and health promotion (Glanz, 2017;Hughes et al, 2020;Pember, 2019), and to acknowledge contemporary issues so we can decide how we want to address them in our classrooms and in the field (James et al, 2019;Merzel, 2020Merzel, , 2021Sendall, 2021). SOTL work enhances our ability to engage in scholarly teaching as it provides the research and perspectives that enrich the literature, training, and reflections that educators use to strengthen their own teaching practice.…”
