What is QIESR?
The Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s Institute for Educational Scholarship and Research (QIESR) is a university-wide institute dedicated to advancing educational scholarship, discipline-based education research (DBER), and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL).
QIESR formalizes and elevates Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s long-standing leadership in scholarly teaching by providing coordinated infrastructure, mentorship, and visibility for rigorous inquiry into teaching and learning across disciplines.
QIESR strengthens Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s academic mission by connecting research, teaching practice, and institutional priorities. It supports our Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s community in generating and mobilizing evidence that enhances student learning, informs curriculum design, and advances educational innovation.
QIESR ensures that educational scholarship at Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s is not peripheral or episodic, but intentional, supported, and sustained. It affirms that teaching excellence is a scholarly endeavour that warrants the same intellectual investment, recognition, and infrastructure as other forms of research.
By launching QIESR, Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s commits to a future where pedagogy and research are deeply connected, where educational innovation is evidence-based, and where teaching and learning are central to institutional excellence.
