Research Teaching Linkages: Enhancing Graduate Attributes

The Caledonian Academy Learning Communities Forum presents "Research Teaching Linkages: Enhancing Graduate Attributes" from 2.30 - 3.30pm on Tuesday 18th March 2008 at the Insight Area, H113, Caledonian Academy.

What skills do we aim to develop in our learners as we prepare them for employment? How can the research skills of teaching staff be utilised in developing the key skills which define a modern graduate. The development of linkages between research and teaching to enhance graduate attributes is one of the current Quality Assurance Agency Enhancement Themes[1]. This seminar will discuss some of the background to the theme and consider key issues which have emerged from it. We will consider current practice at Glasgow Caledonian University and how a commitment to developing these graduate attributes can be embedded in key institutional strategies and initiatives. This presentation will also provide you with an opportunity to put forward your own views on the linkage between teaching and research.

The Caledonian Academy is pleased to announce a Learning Communities Forum on 18th March 2008. This event led by Dr. Colin Milligan is open to all staff with an interest in the Research Teaching Linkages theme. We hope you will come along and join the discussion.
