Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate methodologies that can be employed in a research methods course that will help graduate students understand and appreciate the role that research can play to improve their teaching and to lay the foundation for future inquiry. This study builds upon previous research that investigated student reflections on their perceptions of research, their self-assessment as researchers and their view of the connection between teaching and research. Upon recommendations from this prior study, some of the methodologies employed were frequent student conferences and greater instructor awareness on making the case for the connection between research and teaching. Results showed a marked maturation of student perceptions of research and confidence in their research abilities from the beginning to the end of the course but indicate further research is required to better bridge the gap between research and teaching.
