Research-Infused Curriculum
Teaching and learning beyond disciplines and borders entail students and staff exploring issues and topics in new ways that bring together and merge disciplinary viewpoints as well as experiential knowledge and socio-emotional learning. It is an inquisitive teaching and learning approach, that often leads to new ideas, new approaches, new questions, and answers.
IATL promotes the investigation of multi-, inter-, trans- disciplinarity through a research lens and in turn the exploration of student research through a ‘beyond the disciplines’ perspective. IATL sees this symbiotic relationship as a unique and innovative approach to student learning. The approach supports the premise that the challenges facing the world require collaboration between disciplines, global approaches and, at the same time, demand a dynamic culture of student-led research.
IATL aims to develop sustainable models of ‘research-infused curriculum’ for other teachers, Departments and Faculties to embed in their own teaching and offering, democratising access to research opportunities.
