This article critically examines the shifting focus among higher education faculty in Indonesia—particularly within Christian institutions—from teaching to research, driven by academic policies that prioritize scholarly publication. Using a literature-based approach and the framework of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), the paper explores global developments, conceptual challenges, and the relevance of SoTL for faith-integrated learning. While SoTL practices in Indonesia and Christian institutions remain limited, the study highlights their strategic potential to strengthen reflective, collaborative, and transformative pedagogy. The article concludes with recommendations for building a faith-informed SoTL ecosystem within the context of Christian higher education in Indonesia.
