‘Undergraduate research is the pedagogy for the 21st century’ (Council on Undergraduate Research and National Conference on Undergraduate Research, 2005). This workshop focuses on research- and inquiry-based learning and the forms they can take at undergraduate level. We will discuss different conceptual frameworks of ‘research-based learning’ and invite participants to reflect on their undergraduate teaching in relation to these models. We will also explore ways of developing and promoting undergraduate research activity within new and existing modules/programmes.

Learning outcomes:

• to explore how undergraduate research can be conceptualised and the various forms it can take;

• to discuss benefits and challenges of research-based learning;

• to identify ways of incorporating more student research-based activities into modules / programmes.
