【 摘 要 】

Nearly 30 years ago, Ernest L. Boyer introduced a model of scholarship specifically focused onhow we know something is scholarship (worthy of our attention as educators); how curriculumis a form of scholarship (at its best reflective of the specific discipline); and what is the qualityof the scholarship or practice (how do we know quality practice when we see it) (1). The formerAssociation of Schools of Public Health subsequently embraced application of the model tounderstanding scholarship in public health practice (2). This current volume does not derivedirectly from those origins, but nonetheless represents a well-timed exploration and example ofwhere higher education has progressed in bringing the innovative, integrative conceptualizationof higher education scholarship and practice laid out by Boyer, to realization through the growingarena of undergraduate public health programs.
