Overview
Research is a fundamental component of professional growth and evidence-based practice in higher education. It helps educators with the tools to critically explore, assess, and enhance teaching and learning. This training course is designed to provide lecturers in higher education with a solid foundation in educational research, guiding them through the essential elements required to initiate and sustain high-quality inquiry in their own teaching contexts. Participants will begin by exploring the basic structure of academic research in education, learning how research questions are framed, studies are designed, and findings are communicated within the scholarly community. The program particularly offers hands-on support for participants to design their own research projects. From refining research questions to developing proposals and considering ethical implications, this course supports lecturers in becoming confident, reflective researchers. It aims to empower them not only to contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning but also to use research as a transformative tool in their academic practice.
