Research driven education
Dr. Koos Winnips
Are we educating professional investigators or investigative professionals?
“… experience the thrill when you understand it, when you solved the issue...”
“They [students] have to weight all information they receive, not only from literature, but also the results from their own experiments…
“… are passionate about a subject to a certain extent, and trying to understand issues by themselves …
Quotes: Van der Rijst, 2007

Vision>Idealistic: Via-veritas-vita>Functional view:
university’s role in society
(Simons & Elen, 2007)
Idealistic view Functional view
University Finding truth Educating professionals for knowledge society
Faculty/policy Research is in itself a kind of education
Research-teaching can be stimulated
Academics One role: “teach” as researchers
Researcher and teacher roles
Student Part of community of research
Acquire research competences
> Implications
>For a course: decisions
Research-tutored
Curriculum emphasises learning focused on students writing and discussing papers or essays
Research-based
Curriculum emphasises students undertaking inquiry-based learning
Research-led
Curriculum is structured around teaching subject content
Research-oriented
Curriculum emphasises teaching processes of knowledge construction in the subject
STUDENT-FOCUSED
STUDENTS AS PARTICIPANTS
EMPHASIS ON RESEARCH CONTENT
EMPHASIS ON
RESEARCH PROCESSES AND PROBLEMS
TEACHER-FOCUSED
STUDENTS AS AUDIENCEHealy, 2005
>Lead to: staff profiles (Visser-Wijnveen et. al., 2010) teach research results make research known show what it means to be a researcher help to conduct research provide research experience
>Similar to profiles developed for FEB (2011)>Each programme scores different on those
profiles (Elen, 2009)
Conclusions>By working on research-teaching we can
improve reality: generate new (public) knowledge
>Implications for programme SG&P: What is already in your course? What to add/enhance?

Questions (from Visser-Wijnveen, 2010)>Orientation: are you research of teaching
focused?>Approach: ‘learning about research’ and
‘participation in research’>Curriculum: focus on research content, or
research process? Your own research, or generic research?
