In the USA we have what is called Resesrch I universities where research is required. In so-called teaching institutions, the research level varies in extent. At community colleges research is practically zero.
I can't imagine a lecturer of education saying: No, we are here only for teaching, we don't need research. Such an attitude is - perhaps - conceivable if the training for pedagogical professions, in particular the training of teachers, does not take place at the university but at special institutions, for example Teacher Training Institutes. Whether the quality of teaching here was (or is) better than at a university, I should like to assert. The unity of teaching and research with a high proportion of research is a matter of course at the university, but not at any case at teacher training institutions.
Never known. I've heard umpteen lecturers in universities complain about the number of research papers they need to write and publish. The stress! The stress!
A good teacher inspire....... So I think that Research makes a good teacher an inspiring model.
Also think that dissociating teaching and research makes the university system imbalance because knowledge does not have limited boundaries and is continuously found through research.
Can you stop searching for new knowledge and claim to be a good teacher?
Without research we might fall into the trap of teaching wrong scientific facts believing that they are correct.
Research is the only teacher of the last teachers on a lather of teaching scale. So, I think.
We can certainly touch the research at university level but it cannot be applicable to entire range of various stream of education . With this research provides with all the requisite information in the subject matter which will not only help student but it may also help them for the progressive development of their study .
Yes there is a relationship between the research and education but i see in opposite that the education is essential for research because through the education you can find many gaps (subject) which are the base for researches .
Yes, research is absolutely necessary for universities and publishing them in publications that are considered reliable and have an impact on the ranking of the university in the world .
Yes, research is very necessary for education in order to develop educational programs and provide students with the required knowledge. Without research, educational science has not yet reached its level. Research can enable teachers to know how successful they are in the educational process by conducting research that assesses their method of education.
Research makes individual lecturers more knowledgeable and therefore it is absolutely essential to good teaching. Researching topics to teach is much the best method. I remember a lecturer at university being asked a question outside of the topic of the time, and as he was an excellent lecturer and researcher he presented his own views based on research. The class topic-German migration before 400 AD. The topic asked within the class: did the Etruscans come from Asia Minor? His excellent erudite and non-committal reply-the evidence suggested indigenous, but other new evidence might go back to the traditional viewpoint. He then detailed modern research. Indeed, a very good lecturer.
The question of research versus teaching is the dilemma of the eternal university professor of students and the mobility between these two activities is a delicate balance carried out by the most faculty members. In theory, there must be a complementarity between conducting original research and transferring knowledge to students during the teaching process. In practice, however, this concept is still controversial in the academic sphere. Excellent academic research requires writing proposals for funding, supervising graduate students, planning, conducting research, attending conferences, researching papers, and writing papers. The excellent teaching process requires planning and updating lessons, developing the curriculum, and assigning students difficult tasks, but fair and appropriate, the development and correction of examinations, and deal with the student's personal and academic problems.
Research should be at the heart of every kind of education. The main goal of education is to equip our students well to be able to function as problem solvers in the society. The most efficient way of assisting them perform these civic responsibilities is by arming them with skills in research.
Teachers and teacher educators may be equipped to conduct their own research, individually and collectively, to investigate the impact of particular interventions or to explore the positive and negative effects of educational practice.
Research is one evidence of our passion for learning that provides inspiration to our students. Research also enables us to extend knowledge and contribute to the academic community, whether that be our students, peers, or those outside of our institution. Researching is also a way to model for our students a passion and skill for inquiry and problem-solving.
The best teachers must continue to learn far after they have left formal studies. Researches are one of a very effective way for this and also for the generation of new ideas.
I think we need to differentiate between how we teach and what we teach. Both are essential for a good teacher at university level. The latter is undoubtedly positively influenced by the intensity of research. Certainly not the former.
Education at the university level is research based hence the university teaching personnel should be research oriented in order to meet the social and scientific dynamics of the universe.
1st, I would like to congratulate Ajit Kumar Roy for what he wrote about the subject and even more for his happiness to have had his answer so many times recommended. That's the spirit here. To feel useful and to feel happy to have been useful. Congratulations Ajit!
Well, about the subject of this question I would say that all in life must follow an order. We start little and grow within time. Child-adult. Primary course - University - Pos Graduation. Soldier-General.
Thinking this way, I do not think that during graduation (if I understood the question well) is the right time for a student start participating in research. I think it is not the right time. The student must learn the basics and if he starts making research he does not have the necessary time to learn the fundamentals decent and properly.
What I have seen is that for the researcher himself it is very useful to use the student's cheap working force.
The same way, I observe that most of us do teach and make research for many reasons. But I think this not right. We do not need to make research in order to teach our students. The other way round, we also do not need to teach in to get better prepared to make research.
In fact, I think that those who teach should only teach. Should dedicate full time for teaching. The same with researchers. They should keep researching and producing new knowledge allowing those who teach to have new information to teach to their students. I think full time researching, full time teaching and full time studying would be more productive for each professional/student and would also be more productive for teaching, researching and learning.
But I know it is not like that.
So:
Is RESEARCH essential for EDUCATION at the university level? No. It is only like this for pos graduation level.
What is the relationship between TEACHING and RESEARCH? I think the relationship between teaching and researching is that without research there is nothing someone can teach. And without teaching there is nothing someone can learn and become a researcher. Or a professor.
Is a research-rich environment essential for high-level university teaching? Not really. To teach the state of art of some knowledge does not mean you must be one of the researchers who produced it.
Can you be a good university teacher without doing research? "Update is necessary to build and maintain a high quality education." Learning in order to teach the new discoveries and actual knowledge is not to make research. It is learning. So, I believe that, yes, someone can be an excellent Professor without doing any research.
We are teaching what other researchers had discovered or invented, every one should continue to learn through experiments and research studies even after being a teacher, it's wrong to stop learning.
What is the relationship between TEACHING and RESEARCH?
There is no relationship between teaching and research, Students doing projects for the partial fulfillment of their curriculum.
( Ref: Hattie J, Marsh HW. The relationship between research and teaching: A meta-analysis. Review of educational research. 1996 Dec;66(4):507-42.)
Is a research-rich environment essential for high-level university teaching?
Definitely, and it's having research-based learning and good funding source.
Can you be a good university teacher without doing research?
Yes, to become a good teacher he must fulfill the needs of his student, if one just conducting research and not doing teaching it is not a fairer part of his carrier.
It is extremely important, research provides new findings, theories that need to be taught. That's what differs university from non university education.
The universities are established to develop new ideas and knowledge by carrying out research in various fields of education and disseminating it among the youths properly.
research and teaching represent just different moments in the process of exploration and discovery of science. A high level of teaching provides the basis for good research in the future, and this research must constantly be traced back to the time of education.
Is RESEARCH essential for EDUCATION at the university level?
Yes - because research can enrich education through new discovery / innovation & knowledge contribution to human mankind.
What is the relationship between TEACHING and RESEARCH?
Personally to me teaching is generally an output process whereas research is an input & processing process. In order to have meaningful output (teaching), we need to have useful input & processing (research). I coined the word "generally" because teaching sometimes can enable learning from students / subject that the teacher is teaching. But the impact is not as astounding as an intentional research.
Is a research-rich environment essential for high-level university teaching?
Yes - see my answer above for the explanation on why.
Can you be a good university teacher without doing research?
Still can perhaps at the preliminary level of a subject for a long time or for a deeper level subject area for a short-while. For long run & deeper understanding of a subject, you might need to embark on research. That's the reason why many scholars intended to stay in academia likely to embark on research and / then teaching. Research & teaching enable a scholar to cover / complete the end to end process of input-processing-output.
If your research increases the knowledge that you pass to your students, then it is worthwhile.
We have some researchers whose work is irrelevant to the knowledge of future generations, therefore, I think, complete waste of money that no one will ever use.
Teachers of preliminary courses do not have to be necessarily researches as well. However, the faculty involved into teaching key specialization courses should be researches as well.
Just graduated professionals ought to be educated including their specialty research frontiers. The lack of the faculty staff involved into research can be offset by part time industrial or academic researchers.
Yes, quality research is one of the main functions of establishing a university. Research outputs capable of bringing solutions to problems in the society should be pursued by all serious minded members of the university community from postgraduate students, academic and non academic staff members.
Research characterizes and differentiates universities from other
educational institutions, guarantees a higher quality in the training of new professionals and ensures the training of new scientists demanded by society, therefore:
Research is essential for university education.
The research keeps knowledge updated and positively influences teaching.
Research is essential for high-level university education.
You will be a better university professor if you investigate.
Article Gestión de la ciencia en la universidad: caso de estudio CUJAE
Thank you for your question Joanna, One of the main differences between high schools and universities is research. Universities depend on research as part of their scholarly culture to create new knowledge and provide evidence for vital questions that could move our knowledge forward in any of the disciplines we are involved in, including education. For example, how can we know which teaching method has an impact on students' learning, how can we enhance students' learning, do we need 3D models in teaching anatomy? What evidence do we have that 3D will make a difference. You see from these examples, we need research to be sure that we are making the right decisions. Research is vital in education, as it is the case in other fields. I hope this answer helps. Thank you.
Is RESEARCH essential for EDUCATION at the university level?
Not essential, but important in some areas of study.
What is the relationship between TEACHING and RESEARCH?
By experience during University, not ever a good research is a good teacher. To teach, you need much more than research. You need didactic, methodology, domain on state of art.
Is a research-rich environment essential for high-level university teaching?
It's a good addition, but not essencial. Professor need to be good in the state of art in his/her discipline, not necessarily by research.
Can you be a good university teacher without doing research?
Interesting question. Personally speaking, while working in higher education, I am happy with teaching and researching going together. When doing research I can enhance my teaching in terms of concepts, information, skills, tasks. On the ohter hand when teaching or preparing to teach, I find ideas for research.
Yes, I think that research in universities is also essential for education. Research in universities allow to timely adapt curriculum to new elaborations, both in research and in the demand for future professions. You can look for my arguments in this conference paper: Conference Paper THE INTERACTION BETWEEN INDUSTRY DEMAND, RESEARCH AND TEACHING
For teaching at university it is necessary to be a researcher. Person without personal experience in doing research cannot teach how to do research. And this I sure is absolutely necessary at university level of education.
For teaching at university it is necessary to be a researcher. Person without personal experience in doing research cannot teach how to do research. And knowing basic steps of research I sure is absolutely necessary at university level of education. Meanwhile I agree with opinions of those who think that good researchers are not always good teachers. But good researchers have to try be good teachers as well. Only by this way we can to ensure the future development for our disciplines.
I think the best solution is to hire those who would become full-time researchers (with an option to teach a course every so often if they wish) and others who would be full-time teachers (with an option to research every so often if they wish). Because of the nature of the academy, 80% would probably be the teachers; 20% researchers.
In my opinion, research is fundamental for university education since it guarantees a higher quality in the students who are trained as professionals, because the knowledge and the subjects that are taught updated with the scientific-technological advances that are developed in other areas are maintained. universities of the world.
I think I understand why you are asking this question. Although research is generally needed to become a tenured professor, the type of "research" is very wide ranging matter and is not always scrutinized by fellow workers when it comes to evaluations. Any published paper is worth a lot, even those that have no applications.
I think a very good teacher would be all that a university needs to have. This particular teacher could do a compilation of recent papers in his/her subject to update the lectures and that is all that is required for the research component.
I have come across individuals who "hate" the teaching part and would like to kill time "researching" useless material that can be published just for the purpose of getting tenure and higher salary. To my mind such people are useless to the purpose of a university, yet they form the backbone of one department I am familiar with.
Research, Projects, Ph D etc. are kept along with teaching at university level TRADITIONALLY.
But if we forget tradition, we have to admit that it is not easy for a teacher/professor to perform efficiently all the works of teaching, project operation, guiding of Ph D students etc. together.
In many cases, one or two of these may be neglected due to pressure of other.
A new system may be initiated where some specialist persons may be given the duties of research, project, Ph D etc. separately .
At the universities in Poland, we are usually employed as research-teaching faculty, what means that our main task is to research, and the findings of our research we "sell" to our students. It is possible to be employed as a pure teacher but the most often not at university level.
It is always the better option to undertake research work with teaching duties because indulging in regular research work will keep the person well acquainted with latest developments in his/her discipline along with contributing to the curriculum vitae by means of publishing papers and/or getting new products patented. This will definitely benefit the students.
I wonder how teaching can be separated from research.
A good teacher should be ready to research and not just research but as well attempt publishing, it improves the teacher's writing skills, increases knowledge, it give global audience the opportunity to see your works as contribution to knowledge.
Good university teachers or lecturers should as a matter of fact make research a priority.
Please search in Google : "Research based learning strategies". In summary; there are four strategies: Research results or research process can be taught in passive or active teaching strategies
Universities in most cases are tasked not only to deceminate knowledge but to create knowledge through research. That is why teaching and research should be complementary activities of most university faculty members.
'University' updates curriculum as per the global requirement via 'Research' and 'Quality' of teaching and 'Rank' of 'University' is enhanced by innovative research.
Yes, I strongly believe that research is very much essential in the university education.
A university is a place where new ideas germinate; roots strike and grow tall and sturdy. It is a unique space, which covers the entire universe of knowledge. It is a place where creative minds converge, interact with each other and construct visions of new realities. Established notions of truth are challenged in the pursuit of knowledge. To be able to do all this, getting help from experienced teachers can be very useful and effective.
Through detailed research, students develop critical thinking expertise, as well as effective analytical, research, and communication skills that are globally sought-after and incredibly beneficial. Ultimately, research is essential to economic and social development of our globalised society, forming the foundations governmental policies around the world.
“Knowledge generated by research is the basis of sustainable development, which requires that knowledge be placed at the service of development, be converted into applications, and be shared to ensure widespread benefits,” says Mary-Louise Kearney, Director of the UNESCO Forum on Higher Education, Research and Knowledge.
Definitely YES, university education without research is back-warding exponentially, as knowledge is naturally advancing. However, it is the role of professors to up-date with research rather than students at the university level.
Is RESEARCH essential for EDUCATION at the university level? Research is very essential, as it is the only way to ensure one is educating on updated information.
What is the relationship between TEACHING and RESEARCH? While a good researcher might not be a good teacher, a great teacher has to be a good researcher without which information might be outdated.
Is a research-rich environment essential for high-level university teaching? Yes it is
Can you be a good university teacher without doing research? No, because at a point your information becomes obsolete.
A good teacher is a good research writer. One of the most important characteristics of a university teacher is the one who devotes much of his time on writing researches. They reflect his/ her scientific and educational reputation. Teaching and writing researches are complementary. They go together and make one integrated whole.
