    Abstract

    The complex and ever-changing nature of the field of educational development has led to a scholarship of educational development (SoED) that is rich but also enigmatic. The authors outline four lenses through which SoED might be viewed, ultimately proposing a framework for SoED that empowers scholars to engage in a sophisticated negotiation between, among, and across disciplines, perspectives, and contexts so the field benefits from all approaches. We argue that by cultivating a dexterous SoED, educational developers can leverage a more inclusive scholarly community to explore more meaningful questions and advance SoED as a field of study.
