The RSC Education Division Council, supported by the National HE STEM Programme, is hosting this one day event focussed on ‘Getting started in pedagogical research in Higher Education Workshop.'
Aims
This workshop is for academics who want to move their interest in innovation in teaching and learning to the next level. Many academics are using innovative approaches in their teaching and evaluating students’ response and effectiveness. At what point do such activities become significant enough to be classed as research? How do scientists get to grips with research methodologies from the social sciences that will enable them to gather meaningful evidence on student learning?
Aims
To explore these issues mentioned in the Introduction
To equip participants with the research tools to move their practice to the next level
To consider how and where to publish their outcomes
Format
The conference will consist of a series of talks and case studies. There will also be an opportunity to engage in a discussion at the end of the day and over lunch.
