Practical Strategies Some of the practical and pragmatic ways in which to achieve the teaching-learning-research nexus are to: - Attend a key conference in your discipline and post your session notes on your iLearn site.
- Sign-up for research alerts from Websites in your discipline. Forward relevant alerts on to your students.
- Subscribe to an A-status research journal in your discipline and create research summaries for your students.
- Ensure that the key information you present is referenced in scholarly literature. Regularly update these references and check that your internet links are still active.
- On your Subject Outline, explicitly specify that students are required to use current (and seminal) peer-reviewed literature to inform their assignments.
- Teach the students about the methods that were used to derive the information that you are presenting.
- Direct the students to blogs written by key researchers in your discipline.
- Present your own research process and outcomes to your students and invite them to critique your methods, results, and application.
- Consider inviting guest speakers who are in the process of conducting research in your discipline.
- To add some variety to your lectures, you might organise a mini conference poster session, whereby each of your students prepares and presents a poster on a recent empirical contribution to your discipline.
