3. The Unrelated Personality Model Researchers Ambitious Enduring Seeking definiteness Dominant Showing leadership Aggressive Independent Not meek Nonsupportive Teachers Liberal Sociable Showing leadership Extroverted Low in anxiety Objective Supportive Nonauthoritarian Not defensive Intelligent Aesthetically sensitive

4. “The likelihood that research productivity actually benefits teaching is extremely small. The two, for all practical purposes, are essentially unrelated. Productivity in research and scholarship does not seem to detract from being an effective researcher.” “A zero relationship is typically found in the natural sciences. The correlation between teaching and research is greater than zero in social science departments.” J Hattie and H W Marsh, “The Relationship Between Research and Teaching: A Meta-Analysis”, Review of Educational Research 66, 507-542, 1996.

9. Newly Appointed University Chemistry Teaching Staff Working Group “In the 2003/2004 funding period, the Newly Appointed University Teaching Staff group will plan the organisation and content of a Summer School to provide teacher training, to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and good practices, and provide European networking opportunities for new staff. This summer school will take place in June 2005 and will be one of the outputs of 2004/2005. The group will also report on current practices in teacher training and provide an analysis of how new staff develop expertise in teaching and, at the same time, develop research careers.”
