The Centre for Bioscience Professional Development Programme
At times there are undoubtedly tensions between research and teaching but research-led teaching (in which learning activities explicitly develop the research-teaching nexus) is frequently cited as a distinguishing feature of higher education learning environments. But is this the case? During the day you will have the opportunity to reflect on the benefits for students of learning in a research-informed environment and discuss with others the ways in which you, your course teams and your institution are already linking teaching and research. You will also begin to explore how those relationships could be more effectively developed or linked in your context.
We are pleased to have Professor Alan Jenkins as the keynote speaker for this event. Alan is well known for his work on linking teaching and research and has published widely on the topic.
