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.
![Page 7: Linking research and teaching Associate Professor Angela Brew The University of Sydney](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f165503460f94c2c8ae/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
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.

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.

the scholarship of teaching as a kind of ‘going meta’ in
which academics frame and systematically
investigate questions in relation to teaching and
learning
(Hutchings & Shulman 1999)
![Page 13: Linking research and teaching Associate Professor Angela Brew The University of Sydney](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f165503460f94c2c8ae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Key elements of the scholarship of teaching and learning
Knowledge of teaching and learning and the literature that informs it
Commitment to reflection on teaching practice in order to improve it
Communicating and disseminating knowledge about teaching and learning in a variety of ways
Taking account of students’ perspectives
Following: Trigwell, K., Martin, E., Benjamin J. & Prosser, M. (2000)

Project Aims
Increasingly employ undergraduate teaching and learning strategies which enhance the links between research and teaching
and utilise scholarly inquiry as an organising
principle in departmental organisation, and curriculum development
and Encourage and reward the scholarship of
teaching

“What is required is not that students become masters of bodies of thought, but that
they are enabled to begin to experience the space and challenge of open, critical
inquiry (in all its personal and interpersonal aspects)”
(Barnett 1997: 110)
