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

2 Context Scholarship Projects for Undergraduate Researchers

3 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.

4 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

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

6 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).

7 Findings: motivations

11 Findings: perceptions of impact

12 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

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

14 Conclusions & lessons learnt
