My idea for my next teaching and learning publication

Future directions for this body of work include applying for ethical approval to conduct surveys / workshops with our students (and module coordinators) to understand their perceptions of research and whether or not they find these data generated here a useful tool for their learning. This could possibly be conducted in a manner similar to Gerda et al., (2012) “Relating academics' ways of integrating research and teaching to their students' perceptions” or Healy et al., (2010) “The research–teaching nexus: a case study of students' awareness, experiences and perceptions of research”.
These data generated in this study also gives me as a teacher a chance to review my curriculum in terms of inclusiveness for both teaching approaches and assessment, I can reassess how module learning outcomes are achieved. This may also be a useful tool for other module coordinators in our programme.

My key visuals
include schematic /visual into paper to illustrate outcomes


My plan for getting finished is to 
re-work introduction and include visual for outcome summary ]]> 2018-01-26 10:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_wallace1/58wqvbeczk0r/wish/224995805 Peer Reviewing deborah_wallace1 https://padlet.com/deborah_wallace1/58wqvbeczk0r/wish/224995806 Work in Progress
See abstract, introduction and outline posts marked "for first peer-review session 02.03.18"

Questions for my learning set????
1. Is the title suitable ?
2. Is the abstract clear, does it convey my message ?
3. Does the introduction flow ?

Action Plan following work in Progress Peer Review (09.03.18)
1. Change Title (yes)
2. Restructure discussion ( I tried to do this but couldn't really separate out my thoughts into sections so for the time being have left the structure as is)
3. Identify areas in curriculum for change/improvement (have given examples of this)
4. Framework for CPD (have introduced this concept throughout)
5. Mapping exercise (have noted that teaching & assessment now included as well as LOs)
6. Re-write abstract (done with feedback included)
7. Method of evaluating courses (have mentioned this as "so what" factor)
8. Identify other papers using H&J model (have included refs)

Full Draft Paper
See pdf inserted below

Questions for my learning set????
1. Does title convey my contribution and argument?
 2. Are the contribution and argument obvious in the abstract ?
 3. Is the data presented in a clear manner ?
 4. Do you agree with the interpretation of these data ?
 5. Does the discussion make sense ?

Action Plan following  Full Draft Paper Peer Review
1.Completely restructure introduction
2. Include visual for outcomes

Rationale for Target Journal.
I have chosen Studies in Higher Education. To do this I performed a search in Scopus initially using the terms; research teaching nexus, this yielded limited results so then I also added "curriculum" and searched under "medicine" and related subjects. This gave me 6 journals which I then looked at in journalmetrics.scopus.com to try and rank them. By examining their aims and scope I narrowed this list down by excluding journals who asked for topics such as the following, "international articles/policy/strategic management". 

Two sample papers from Journal
See pdfs above


My Guidelines
1. review models for integrating research into teaching
2. further investigate controversies in the area, is there actually a relationship
between teaching and research ? 3. curriculum map / align our 7 programme models to the Healy and Jenkins model
4. identify areas of our curriculum for attention in possible need of attention
5. create a blueprint for linking / integrating research and teaching  for both staff and students

Theoretical Framework
Educational concepts and definitions
My educational question is if our curriculum is comprehensively covered in all the 4 quadrants of the Healey Jenkins Pedagogical model. Are other models useful, i.e constructive alignment ?
The exercise will involve performing a curriculum mapping exercise.
Models for linking teaching and research will be discussed and probed,  e.g how useful is the H&J model for 
STEM subjects ? Can it be adapted to a more suitable model ?
Do our means of content delivery and assessment cover students as audience and participants ?
