Teaching-generated research

This session outlines a critical thinking solution to the series of pressures under which current undergraduate and postgraduate teaching exists; increasing demands on academic time, rising student expectations and TEF hyperawareness (NSS and student experience matrices). Using an adaptive model, this session shows how students can have access to academics' cutting-edge research, while simultaneously allowing research to develop within the teaching structure. This allows for both staff and students to benefit from the generative atmosphere of a new piece of research. Furthermore it allows for a collegiality of research which can be difficult to create under the above pressures.
