| 總結: | The Research Skill Development framework has informed semester-length course curriculum renewal in more than twenty disciplines across eight universities, providing academics with a new way of conceptualizing the purpose of the curriculum and students with demonstrable improvements in research skills. Students in these courses enjoyed the benefits of having their research skills explicitly developed and stated subsequently that these skills were relevant for employment, as well as for future study. Whilst usage of the RSD to inform curriculum change is increasing, this uptake is slow compared to that warranted by its potential merits. Because of positive course-level outcomes, a systematic evaluation of the long-term benefits of RSD is needed to determine its optimum utility before larger-scale promotion of RSD approaches can reasonably take place. This project seeks to evaluate the long-term benefits of RSD use at degree program level with the aim of accelerating its uptake at course level and, if warranted, at program level. This document is the final report from the project. |
