This document discusses the teaching-research nexus and its impact on student learning and teaching practices. It differentiates between teacher research, action research, and classroom research. Teacher research involves teachers conducting research within their own classrooms. Action research pursues both action, or change, and research simultaneously to improve practices. Classroom research focuses on inputs and outputs within the classroom setting. The document provides examples of these types of research and outlines their benefits, which include improved teaching, better student outcomes, and improved teacher confidence through evidence-based practices. Key aspects of action research design and processes are also summarized.

The digital divide presentation

Tom Duff

This document summarizes a presentation on challenges and opportunities related to technology in learning given at the UWS Learning and Teaching Conference. The presentation discussed how the diversity of today's students requires reimagining learning approaches away from passive, didactic styles to more active, collaborative and networked approaches. Challenges mentioned include the need for flexible scheduling and more formative feedback. The flipped classroom model was proposed as an approach to flex teaching by moving direct instruction outside of class and using class time for active learning. Creating video content for the flipped classroom using tools like Camtasia was discussed as a way to develop content once and use it for many students.

Introduction to student-centred approaches

Stefaan Vande Walle

The document summarizes a national workshop on student-centered approaches for science education. It defines student-centered learning as relying on active rather than passive learning, emphasizing deep understanding, increasing student responsibility and autonomy, and fostering interdependence between teachers and learners. The document explains that student-centered approaches motivate students and help develop skills like communication and collaboration, supporting lifelong learning and individual needs. It then provides examples of techniques to make lessons more student-centered, such as using flashcards, jigsaws, and games, and discusses addressing common criticisms like needing more time and materials.

Students Consulting on Teaching

Karin Crawford

This document describes the SCOTS (Students Consulting on Teaching) project at the University of Lincoln's School of Health and Social Care. The project aims to value student feedback to enhance the student experience. Undergraduate students are recruited and paid as SCOTS to provide objective feedback to lecturers on various aspects of teaching and learning. SCOTS work confidentially and flexibly with lecturers. The project aims to meaningfully engage students in improving learning and teaching through this innovative approach. It faces challenges with approval processes, recruitment, and awareness-raising, but provides opportunities to work with students, expand meaningful feedback, and value the student voice. Ongoing evaluation uses a reflective, action research approach.

Research Day: Arizona State University

CPEDInitiative

Research Day is an event held each semester where students in an Ed.D. program present the cycles of action research they have completed. It allows students to share their work, prepare for defenses, network with others, and be exposed to guest speakers. Students at different stages of the program present on their research at roundtables, posters, or symposiums. The goal is for students to engage in the academic community and continue developing their skills in researching their professional practice.

Initialisation and Sustainability in Practices of Inclusive Education

SEDA

The goal is to inform the design of other applied learning courses.

Emergent evaluation some initial thoughts

Philwood

This document discusses the development of an emergent formative framework for evaluating distance learning modules. It aims to address limitations of traditional evaluations by putting pedagogy at the center and allowing for ongoing student feedback to shape curriculum development in real time. The process would involve multi-modal evaluations from both student and lecturer perspectives throughout a module. This could enable deeper understanding of learning and more holistic, measured curriculum renewal. Potential advantages include developing curriculum elements with student response and reflection, students valuing the opportunity for deeper critical views, and synergy with research opportunities. Issues to reflect on include workload, making time for analysis and reflection, and how the insights fit within increasingly performative evaluation frameworks.

Simon Haslett

Research is an essential component of undergraduate curricula for healthcare students. However, students often find research difficult and disengaged due to the theoretical nature of research methods and lack of connection to clinical practice. This leads to stress, poor performance, and questioning of its usefulness. The authors propose using innovative teaching strategies like problem-based learning, blended learning, and hands-on experiences to make research more stimulating, promote deeper engagement, and foster understanding of its application to practice.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...

indexPub

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
