Abstract

The relationship between teaching and research has been a topic for debate since the 1990s, and is of utmost urgency for practitioners at research-intensive universities (RIUs). The workshop proposes that an integrated approach which seeks to overcome the often frayed relationship between these two activities may be of benefit to all dimensions of practice. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss discipline-specific cases, but also consider the overarching purposes of higher education and think in more integrated ways.

In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to:

consider the theoretical underpinnings of research-intensive learning and teaching (RILT)
identify ‘easy wins’, especially where RILT may already be a ‘hidden’ feature of the curriculum
identify specific ways in which a module or programme can foster and support critical thinking and enquiry skills
work on their own modules/programmes during the session.
