Session 42: Research Informed Teaching case studies

Abstract

Session overview:  

LJMU has a proud history of high quality research and knowledge exchange with a significant body of world-leading research in all areas of the university, as evidenced in the REF2021 results. This work continues to be generated by academic staff, research staff and postgraduate research students.  The short- and long-term impacts of this work will be felt both outside and inside the institution.   

We have been collecting "case studies" related to research informed teaching from across LJMU for several years and have asked staff to identify the research work and research students whose new knowledge and stories they have incorporated into curriculum content and development. In addition, we are also interested where non-LJMU research is incorporated into our curriculum to drive innovation in student experience, learning and development. This session focuses on four of these case studies to explore how research can enhance the curriculum and student experience.  The very different exemplars, will consider the impact on course design and overall curriculum offer as well as more focused innovative teaching approaches. The case studies will reflect on the students’ evaluation of their experiences and skills development and how this might play into greater or broader employment/career opportunities.     

Key learning points from this session: 

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear about examples of research informed teaching from across LJMU.  They will be encouraged to consider how the lessons learned from these case studies may support innovative “Research Informed Teaching” in their own curricula.
