Abstract The concept of the scholarship of teaching was first proposed by Ernest L. Boyer in 1990 in his book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, which was aimed at addressing the imbalance between the teaching and researching, improving the quality of undergraduate teaching and promoting the scholarship of teaching. In the following 20 years, remarkable achievements have been made in pedagogical theories, with the connotation and characteristics deepened, the stages of development becoming a consensus, and the rationality established and evaluation standards maturing. The universities and colleges around the world are setting teaching awards, constructing service institutions, reforming promotion systems, cultivating the development environment etc. The scholarship of teaching has developed into an academic movement with great influences in the world recently.
