Dr Lindsey Ferrie and Prof. Jane E. CalvertSchool of Biomedical Scienceslindsey.ferrie@ncl.ac.uk
Background Context
• Newcastle University ranked 8th in UK for Medical Research
• Research-based teaching heavily embedded into all degree programmes
• Students engage in academic research through numerous opportunities.
• Highlights include:– final year honours research project– lab assistant scheme
Student perspective
• General lack of knowledge as to what academic research entails and….
• more importantly, what is expected of a student within such research roles.
• Student feedback is consistently positive for all research-based schemes.
• However many current students report feeling highly apprehensive and worried about their role in research.
Project aims
• To capture the student experience of research in a series of reflective video diaries.
Credibility, student driven, informative
• To use the video diary’s to prepare current students for their research role and to highlight the benefits of such schemes to prospective students.
