Student research journal
In collaboration with The New Scholar, Leiden University Graduate School of Teaching (ICLON) invites you to this knowledge café to share knowledge from educational research and discuss teaching practices at our university. We will discuss the benefits and challenges of research-based learning. The New Scholar is a example of how to integrate research in teaching and will showcase the advantages for student learning of publishing, reviewing and editing for a student research journal.
For whom?
Anyone who works or studies at Leiden University and is interested in research into higher education. If you are curious about what educational research can mean for your own teaching and learning practice, you are more than welcome, whatever function, role or position you have.
What can you expect?
Integrating teaching and research in educational design is considered to be important for student learning at our university. The New Scholar is a good example of research based teaching. This peer-reviewed student research journal provides students with the opportunity to publish the results of their undergraduate and graduate research work and to collaborate academically as authors, reviewers, and editors. Through the student research journal students learn about academic publication processes and share their research findings. Through this experiential learning process students learn deeply about the academic discourse and how new knowledge is created. Available educational research describes the benefits and challenges of this form of research based learning. The students and teachers working in practice with this student journal will provide insight about learning from the academic publication process.
