Findings from an evaluation of an undergraduate research scheme Jane McNeil & Helen Puntha Nottingham Trent University

Context Scholarship Projects for Undergraduate Researchers

Framework Strategy. HEFCE Funding for teaching enhanced by research. Working Party for Research-Teaching. Learning and Teaching Enhancement Strategy. Research-Teaching Initiatives. Audit. Student research. SPUR. Research mentor scheme. PG Dip Research-informed teaching.

Research-oriented teaching Learning how to do research Research-led teaching Learning about others research Research-based teaching Curriculum is largely designed around inquiry-based activities Research-informed teaching Teaching draws on systematic inquiry into learning & teaching Griffiths 2004

Evaluation Can undergraduate research schemes contribute to mindfulness of the research-teaching nexus?

Methods and participation Survey at end of projects. 16 student respondents (of 17). 16 staff respondents (all projects represented). Group discussions, e.g. RIT roundtable. Other data (interest, outputs).

Findings: motivations

Students reported motivations SM13 SM15 SM17 SM3 Research-led Research-oriented Research-informed Research-based SM11 SM10 SM12 SM16 SM2 SM4 SM5 SM6 SM7 SM8 SM9 SM14 SM = Students motivations to apply

Supervisors reported motivations Research-led Research-oriented Research-informed Research-based TM4 TM6 TM7 TM8 TM9 TM10 TM12 TM15 TM14 TM13 TM16 TM1 TM2 TM3 TM5 TM10 TM11 TM = Supervisors motivations to apply

Perception of University motivation T = Supervisors perceptions S = Students perceptions Research-led Research-oriented Research-informed Research-based S10 S11 S12 S13 S14 S16 S3 S4 S6 S8 T1 T2 T3 T4 T7 T9 T8 T11 T15 T14 T12 S15 S17 S2 S5 S9 T13 T16 T6 T5

Findings: perceptions of impact

Selected reflections Project supervisors reinvigorated my sense of undergraduates as part of a culture of knowledge and research at university helped to put the horse back in front of the cart

Selected reflections Participating students excellent opportunity to be involved in a real research project I feel like a real psychologist doing a real job

Conclusions & lessons learnt
