本文介绍了一个案例研究的学生的意识,经验和看法的研究在“新”的大学在英国。调查结果是基于对近200名学生的问卷调查和五个小组访谈。许多参与这项研究的学生认为,他们从员工的研究学习,包括由热情的工作人员,提高工作人员的信誉,并反映了著名的研究人员教的荣耀明显的好处。但是,他们也看到了一些不利因素,特别是在工作人员方面,并且认为工作人员的研究不应优先于他们作为学习者的需要。他们认识到,当他们积极参与研究项目时,他们对研究性质的认识和研究技能的发展得到了最大程度的提高。一些学生还认为,参加研究活动对他们今后的就业有好处。世界各地的其他几所大学也使用这份问卷来衡量它们的做法。
This paper presents a case study of students' awareness, experiences and perceptions of research in a 'new' university in the UK. The findings are based on a questionnaire of almost 200 students and five small group interviews. Many of the students participating in this research perceived clear benefits to their learning from staff research, including being taught by enthusiastic staff, enhanced staff credibility, and the reflected glory of being taught by well-known researchers. However, they also perceived disadvantages, particularly with regard to staff availability, and did not believe that staff research should take priority over their needs as learners. They recognised that their awareness of the nature of research and the development of research skills increased most when they were actively involved in undertaking research projects. Several students also perceived benefits for future employment from their participation in research activities. The questionnaire has been used by several other universities around the world to benchmark their practices.
