The need for further research on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in higher education is gaining considerable recognition and momentum in recent teaching and learning literature. Although teaching and learning centers have been established in many higher learning institutions in a number of countries, little is published to provide a big picture of SoTL research trends in this field of knowledge. The present study extends the review of the literature by providing a general perspective of SoTL research trends in higher education using bibliometric technique. The current study, involved investigating 632 existing documents from 2000 to 2021 which have been indexed in the Web of Science database. The study also analyzed a sample of 100 most cited articles to identify the quality and impact of SoTL research trends such as variations across publication years, identifying active research areas, the most prolific authors, organizations and countries, and co-authorship. Six themes emerged including (1) Professional development; (2) learning improvement; (3) pedagogy and diversity; (4) Student assessment; and (5) teaching improvement. (6) SoTL related research The study examines state of the art research in the SoTL area particularly in higher education context. Implications of the importance of SoTL for research institutions, education policy makers, and educational researchers are discussed.
