Research Skills: Teaching
Teaching skills required of excellent PhD or doctoral students
An excellent researcher at doctoral or PhD level:
- Contributes to teaching at undergraduate level.
- Assists in the supervision of undergraduate projects.
- Participates in research meetings (seminars, workshops, conferences, etc). Has a developing awareness of the ways research influences/interacts with teaching.
Looking ahead, a doctoral student can aim to become an excellent early-career researcher who:
- Has a developing awareness of own teaching style and techniques. Is involved with the assessment of student knowledge and supervision of projects.
- Assists in the development of student research skills.
- Willing to co-supervise postgraduate research projects.
- Recognises the significance of translating research into other educational outputs, seeks ways for own research to influence teaching.
- Organises research meetings (seminars, workshops, conferences, etc).
Note: These skills are identified in the UK Researcher Development Framework – where they appear as D3.1 Engagement and Impact: Teaching
