Navigating Our Way through the Research-Teaching Nexus
Speake, Janet
Journal of Geography in Higher Education, v39 n1 p131-142 2015
This article explores some of the synergetic relationships between research and teaching which can help shape geography undergraduate students' understandings of research. Through the experience of investigating students' attitudes towards, and engagement with, satellite navigation technologies, it considers ways in which learning can be achieved through dialogic processes in teaching and research. It presents an example of active student engagement with academic research praxis in a co-learning setting in which research is encountered and experienced as exploration of the new, processes of enquiry and ultimately, tangible research products.
