Linking research with teaching is a key issue in higher education. Indeed, the drive to bring teaching and research closer together is perhaps one of the most significant developments in the teaching and learning field in recent years. The potential gulf between the teaching activities and research activities of higher education institutions is a key topic for anyone with an interest in educational and academic development and policies.;Building on research, literature and wide practical experience, this book shows how academic research activity can be connected to academic teaching activity in such a way as to ensure that neither operates in a vacuum and, most importantly, that each can be enhanced by the other. The book addresses issues at the individual, course and institutional levels and at the level of national policy. It is written for an international readership. Covering the following areas, it aims to be a key work for course leaders, educational developers and policy makers: the research evidence; academic research and student motivation; designing the curriculum to link teaching and research; organizing the institution and the department to link teaching and research; a

The Nature of Research - Inquiry in Academic Contexts (Hardcover): Angela Brew The Nature of Research - Inquiry in Academic Contexts (Hardcover)

Increasingly, new academics are entering higher education without conventional research training and without a clear idea of what research actually involves. This is particularly true of academics who enter from having spent time in a profession including many in the newer disciplines. In addition, institutions of higher education which do not have a tradition of research are increasingly competing for research funding.
The Nature of Research looks at this background and discusses what is wrong with academic research and discusses what is wrong with academic research today, what needs to change for it to survive, how to allow new kinds of research to flourish, directions for future action and how academic research can teach us to live in today's complex and uncertain society.
The aim of the book, then, is to provide a stimulus to thinking about the nature and role of research with a view to considering what might be appropriate in the next century. Since research is so central to university life, looking at research will tell us much about what the university of the future might be like.

Undergraduate Research (UR) can be defined as an investigation into a specific topic within a discipline by an undergraduate student that makes an original contribution to the field. It has become a major consideration among research universities around the world, in order to advance both academic teaching and research productivity. Edited by an international team of world authorities in UR, this Handbook is the first truly comprehensive and systematic account of undergraduate research, which brings together different international approaches, with attention to both theory and practice. It is split into sections covering different countries, disciplines, and methodologies. It also provides an overview of current research and theoretical perspectives on undergraduate research as well as future developmental prospects of UR. Written in an engaging style, yet wide-ranging in its scope, it is essential reading for anyone wishing to broaden their understanding of how undergraduate research is implemented worldwide.
