The fact that candidates for jobs in the United Kingdom higher education sector (UKHEs) are continually asked to make presentations on topics such as ‘What are your views on, and experience of, research-led teaching in education?’, ‘How will your research contribute to the delivery of the University’s Learning and Teaching strategy?’ and ‘Describe how your research will contribute, over the next 3-5 years, to the international teaching profile of this University, indicates the importance and perennial need to link teaching and research in the UK. Additionally, those employed are encouraged to make their teaching ‘more research-led. From this perennial desire locally emerges coined phrases such as ‘research-led, ‘research informed’ or ‘research enhanced’ teaching, which has now become established jargon in the sector.
In its learning and teaching policy, one university defines research-led teaching as that which introduces students to the latest findings in their subjects and develops students’ powers of critical insight and intellectual synthesis. This idea is supported by writers such as Tushman & O’Reilly (2007), Anthony & Austin (2008,) Prichard (2000), and Paul & Rubin (1984) who see the role of research and its connection with teaching as enabling knowledge growth and improving practice and/or teaching.
