More about this project

The key aims of the study can be summarised as:

  • To explore the experiences and conceptions of 'research' and 'teaching' of academics in Environmental Sciences, Sociology and English, and their understanding of the link between the two activities.
  • To better understand the ways in which their conception of the link informs their teaching practice and curriculum development and their beliefs about how this may enhance student learning.
  • To identify ways in which the disciplinary / sub-disciplinary and departmental location of academics may influence their conception of 'research' and 'teaching' and attempts to develop the relationship.

    It is intended that this study will help to inform both policy and practice at the national and institutional level.
