“…Debates on the relationship between teaching and research are not only relevant to institutions, professions or nations undergoing a transformation of identity and mission, as was the case in this study. Studies in the UK, for example, have tracked how undergraduate and postgraduate students view the respective benefits of their lecturers' involvement in research and teaching (Lindsay, Breen, & Jenkins, 2002). The authors of this study argue that explicit strategies are needed to strengthen the potential linkages and synergy between teaching and research.…”

In this article we argue that understanding the identities that teacher educators construct for themselves is central to effecting innovation within a changing policy environment. The article begins with a theoretical perspective on the nexus of change and identity. It then discusses the central features of identity amongst a group of teacher college educators who have been incorporated into a higher education institution in South Africa. The discussion focuses in particular on their new roles as researchers. We argue that the promotion of research needs to be based on what teacher educators already perceive to be their particular strengths and roles. The paper ends with some examples of strategies for research promotion in this particular setting.

“…Previous investigations of the teaching-research nexus have suggested that there may be both benefits and disadvantages to students in staff undertaking these activities (Lindsay et al, 2002;Zamorski, 2002). Within the questionnaire used in this study the students were given a list of positive and negative categories associated with the links between research and teaching, from which they could tick any or all that applied.…”

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR TEXT. Forthcoming in Innovations in Education and Teaching International SUMMARYThis 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.

“…The concern is based on the logic that research activities divert lecturer attention away from teaching duties. Ramsden and Moses (as cited in Lindsay, Breen, & Jenkins, 2002), based on their quantitative research on the relationship between undergraduate teaching and academic research, concluded that there is a negative relationship between extent of involvement in research and ratings of teaching quality.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the model of the effects of learning environment on graduates' competencies. The analysis was based on the responses to a questionnaire of 2,988 graduates from Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia. The model was analyzed using structural equation modelling. The tested model indicated a good fit model with χ 2 (199, N = 2988) = 1773.17, p = .000, RMSEA = .051, CFI = .98. The results suggest a significant positive influence of learning environment on graduates' competencies.
