Abstract

This paper reports on the first phase of a three year HEFCE funded project under FDTL Phase 3 (Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning). The project explores the what, where and how of linking teaching with research and consultancy, within Planning, Land and Property Management and Building related disciplines (LINK). It is being undertaken by a partnership of four universities (Oxford Brookes University, University of West of England, University of Westminster and Sheffield Hallam University). The project partners are involved in collecting, identifying and disseminating evidence of effective practice, whilst focusing on issues of concern and developing practical resolutions to problems. The analysis of findings from multi-disciplinary focus groups from the four universities will be discussed, together with examples of practice, which aim to inform and enhance the links to the benefit of teaching, employment, professional institutional needs, and student learning.

Descriptive scope: 4 PCEA

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
