Research-led teaching: a review of two initiatives in valuing the link between teaching and research.

Deakin, Mark

Abstract

Research led teaching is a matter which has recently attracted a considerable amount of
attention, particularly from those in higher education who are of the opinion that we need to
value the link between teaching and research. Examining the relationship between teaching
and research on two modules – one undergraduate, the other post graduate, this paper
draws upon the students’ experiences of research led teaching to provide evidence of how
they value the link between teaching and research and the connection research led teaching
has to learning. It provides evidence to suggest that students value the link between
teaching and research, placing particular weight on research led teaching and the bearing
which it has on the quality of their learning experiences.
