SoTL is crucial in enhancing nursing education and improving student learning outcomes, thereby preparing competent nurses to deliver high-quality healthcare. Despite its importance, the dimensions and defining characteristics of SoTL have not been adequately explored. This scoping review aims to clarify the concept of SoTL in nursing education, identify its key features and address existing knowledge gaps in this field.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n The study adopts Arksey and O\u2019Malley\u2019s established scoping review methodology, as defined by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The research process is guided by five distinct phases: the initial formulation of research questions, identification of relevant studies, selection of studies, data extraction and compilation and, finally, synthesis and reporting of results.<\/jats:p>\n The inclusion criteria will be based on the Population, Concept and Context framework. A comprehensive search will be conducted across PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science, ERIC and grey literature sources, with no time limitations and ongoing updates until the study concludes.<\/jats:p>\n To ensure a comprehensive review, reference lists and citations of selected studies will also be examined for additional relevant sources. Duplicate studies and studies published in languages other than Persian or English will be excluded. Two independent reviewers will select studies based on eligibility criteria and screen the title, abstract and full text. Data extraction will be conducted using the standard JBI form. A directed content analysis will be undertaken to identify and clarify key concepts in the texts.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n The Research Ethics Committee of Iran University of Medical Sciences has approved this study. The results will be published in scientific publications and presented at relevant conferences.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Study registration<\/jats:title>\n \n The protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF;\n https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17605\/OSF.IO\/VN5GD<\/jats:ext-link>\n ).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2025-108504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,30]],"date-time":"2025-11-30T05:00:18Z","timestamp":1764478818000},"page":"e108504","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Scholarship of teaching and learning of nursing faculty members: a protocol for a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1192-6592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamid","family":"Heidarzadeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing and Midwifery Care Research Center, Department of Medical-Surgical Nursing, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran (the Islamic Republic of)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naiemeh","family":"Seyedfatemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geriatric Mental Health Research Center, Nursing and Midwifery Care Research Center, Health Management Research Institute, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Tehran Province, Iran (the Islamic Republic of)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hamid","family":"Peyrovi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing and Midwifery Care Research Center, Health Management Research Institute, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran (the Islamic Republic of)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Armin","family":"Zareiyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Cancer Screening and Epidemiology, Department of Public Health Nursing, Aja University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran (the Islamic Republic of)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fakhrosadat","family":"Mirhosseini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health (SDH) Research Center, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran (the Islamic Republic of)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025112921001255000_15.11.e108504.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1007\/s11159-023-10037-7","article-title":"Local community development and higher education institutions: Moving from the triple helix to the quadruple helix model","volume":"70","author":"Shyiramunda","year":"2024","journal-title":"Int Rev Educ"},{"key":"2025112921001255000_15.11.e108504.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnsa.2024.100254","article-title":"Psychological safety in enhancing the competence of nurse educators among early career nursing faculty in Japan: A cross-sectional study","volume":"7","author":"Satoh","year":"2024","journal-title":"Int J Nurs Stud Adv"},{"key":"2025112921001255000_15.11.e108504.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2024-091911","article-title":"Economic evaluations in undergraduate medical education: a systematic review","volume":"15","author":"Dijk","year":"2025","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2025112921001255000_15.11.e108504.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1186\/s12909-023-04682-7","article-title":"The effect of the Educational Scholar Program as a longitudinal faculty development program on the capability of educators as scholars","volume":"23","author":"Keshmiri","year":"2023","journal-title":"BMC Med Educ"},{"key":"2025112921001255000_15.11.e108504.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.profnurs.2024.02.003","article-title":"Interprofessional reconstruction of a policy for academic advancement: The evolution and evaluation of scholarship for today, tomorrow, and beyond","volume":"52","author":"Hale","year":"2024","journal-title":"J Prof Nurs"},{"key":"2025112921001255000_15.11.e108504.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.1016\/j.profnurs.2022.09.001","article-title":"Exploring alternative forms of scholarship for nurse educators\u2019 success","volume":"43","author":"Ramirez","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Prof Nurs"},{"key":"2025112921001255000_15.11.e108504.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1080\/10872981.2024.2336332","article-title":"Developing a framework for promoting interest and engagement of scholarship of teaching and learning for medical students","volume":"29","author":"Bhattacharjee","year":"2024","journal-title":"Med Educ Online"},{"key":"2025112921001255000_15.11.e108504.8","unstructured":"Boyer EL .
