Teaching Knowledge Transmission Knowledge generation Disciplinary Research culture Departmental Learning milieu Students Research Academics

Research-Enhanced Learning & Teaching key areas: 1.Research-enhanced teaching 2.Research-based learning 3.Scholarship of learning and teaching

1. Research-enhanced teaching Teaching is informed by staff research. This includes the integration of disciplinary research findings into courses and curricula at all levels such that students are both an audience for research and engaged in research activity.

2. Research-based learning Opportunities are provided for students at all levels to experience and conduct research, learn about research throughout their courses, develop the skills of research and inquiry and contribute to the University’s research effort.

Research-Enhanced Learning & Teaching key areas: 1.Research-enhanced teaching 2.Research-based learning 3.Scholarship of learning and teaching

3. Scholarship of learning & teaching Staff and students engage in scholarship and/or research in relation to understanding learning and teaching. Evidence-based approaches are used to establish the effects and effectiveness of student learning, teaching effectiveness and academic practice.
