View source for The Theory Bottleneck and Decoding the Disciplines

==Abstract==
Academics are used to thinking about theory within their disciplines, but instructors and scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) researchers may not be used to thinking theoretically about teaching, even while teaching rests on implicit theories. This article will explain what ''Decoding the Disciplines'' as theory is and what it does and address the following questions: What is the value of theory? What are the practical benefits of ''Decoding the Disciplines'' as theory? Why do people resist using ''Decoding the Disciplines'' or other theory in their scholarly teaching and their SoTL research? What are the bottlenecks to applying theory to teaching and to ''Decoding the Disciplines''? How do we overcome the resistance? Throughout the article I will raise a series of questions to encourage reflection and discussion of the points raised herein.
