Workshop Research Teaching Linkages

This workshop grows out of the Research-Teaching Linkages working group of the National Academy for Integration of Research (NAIRTL). The group was established to focus on clarifying links between teaching and research, particularly on those sustaining the integration of research and teaching and learning. To date, NAIRTL has identified four research teaching linkages (research-led, research-orientated, research-based and research-informed teaching) to guide grant applicants and those wishing to publish in the research area of teaching and learning. These definitions are well grounded in the literature on research, teaching and learning internationally and served to provide a context for the session. The objective of the workshop was to discuss and critique the four ways of linking research, teaching and learning already provided by NAIRTL. Case study scenarios/examples of each form of integrating research, teaching and learning were put forward to guide the discussion. (Contains 1 footnote.)
