  1. Research-Informed TeachingThe random musings of a teacher-researcherRob AckrillDivision of Economics, Nottingham Business School

  2. Some Introductory Thoughts • Why am I here? • What am I capable of talking about? • Help!

  3. Some Things About Economics • Academic research tends to be highly technical • Research Methods ≡ Econometrics • And since I cannot do sums, am I even an Economist? • Another problem – only a minority of modules are ‘research methods’ modules. Can we rely only on those modules? Should we (must we?) look to embed RM into other modules?

  4. What are we Talking About?

  5. Research Informed Teaching orEnquiry-Based Learning? • EBL – not so much research-led learning as research-like learning • Or maybe, in the quadrant, ‘research-based’ learning? • Maybe they are the same thing… • …or completely different

  6. Linking into Wider AgendasThe Economics Network Survey • Communicate orally • Communicate clearly in writing • Be objective • Develop skills of persuasion and debate • Communicate complex knowledge • Apply theory and show ability to problem-solve • Understand the developments in and relevance of economic policy
