ABSTRACT Research methods education is a challenging area for lecturers and students to engage with; students regularly demonstrate negative dispositions to research methods and lecturers struggle with issues such as curriculum marginalisation. However, employers increasingly demand graduates equipped with skills as researchers. Consequently, in university-based higher education, there has been investment to support research and good practice in this area. In contrast, limited attention has been paid to research methods education in college-based higher education. We report the outcomes of a small-scale national study designed to capture contemporary insights in research methods provision in college-based higher education. Drawing on data from two national surveys, we report student attitudes to, and experiences of, research methods and strategies employed by lecturers to teach and assess research methods. Students demonstrate positive attitudes to research methods, receptive to their research methods education and can see their applicability to ‘real life’ situations. However, the data demonstrate that the breadth of their research methods education is limited, potentially having implications for the development of skills such as critical evaluation of research outcomes, and students longer-term development as researchers. We conclude by highlighting future research directions and curriculum development to promote research methods education in college-based higher education.

高校高等教育中研究方法教育的学生体会

摘要研究方法教育对讲师和学生而言是一个充满挑战的领域。学生经常对研究方法表现出负面倾向,而讲师则在课程边缘化等问题上挣扎。但是,雇主越来越要求具备研究人员技能的毕业生。因此,在以大学为基础的高等教育中,已经有投资来支持该领域的研究和良好实践。相反,在基于大学的高等教育中,对研究方法教育的关注很少。我们报告了一项旨在收集当代对基于大学的高等教育的研究方法的见解的小型国家研究的结果。利用两次全国性调查的数据,我们报告了学生对以下方面的态度和经历:讲师用来教授和评估研究方法的研究方法和策略。学生表现出对研究方法的积极态度,接受他们对研究方法的教育,并可以看到他们对“现实生活”情况的适用性。但是,数据表明,他们的研究方法教育的广度是有限的,可能会对技能的发展产生影响,例如对研究成果进行批判性评估以及学生作为研究者的长期发展。最后,我们着重强调未来的研究方向和课程发展,以促进基于大学的高等教育中的研究方法教育。接受他们的研究方法教育,可以看到他们在“现实生活”中的适用性。但是,数据表明,他们的研究方法教育的广度是有限的,可能会对技能的发展产生影响,例如对研究成果进行批判性评估以及学生作为研究者的长期发展。最后,我们着重强调未来的研究方向和课程发展,以促进基于大学的高等教育中的研究方法教育。接受他们的研究方法教育,可以看到他们在“现实生活”中的适用性。但是,数据表明,他们的研究方法教育的广度是有限的,可能会对技能的发展产生影响,例如对研究成果进行批判性评估以及学生作为研究者的长期发展。最后,我们着重强调未来的研究方向和课程发展,以促进基于大学的高等教育中的研究方法教育。
