Auteur(s): J. Elen & A. Verburgh ISBN: 9789044122664 The Bologna-declaration changes fundamentally higher education in Europe. It introduces a clear distinction between bachelor and master programs and invites research-intensive universities for a fundamental refl ection on the relationship between research and educational activities. Some of the prominent questions are: how can students’ learning experiences within a research-intensive context be characterised, what effects can be expected from and what is the actual impact of learning in an environment that in general focuses on research rather than on education and student learning, and how can research be integrated in education in view of optimizing learning. Considering the literature on the one hand and building upon the in-depth refl ections of faculty-members in European researchintensive universities, the authors Jan Elen and An Verburgh make a number of educational proposals, pertaining to goals, orientation and curriculum structure of bachelors and masters programs as well as to the instructional activities and possible quality assurance processes in research-intensive universities. The proposals are formulated in view of encouraging ongoing discussion and debate on the nexus between education and research. They aim at increasing the attractiveness and effectiveness of educational activities by stressing the need for a thorough, systematic and diversifi ed integration of research in educational activities. Over de auteur(s): Jan Elen is professor at the Center of Instructional Psychology and Technology of the KU Leuven, a partner of the League of European Research-Intensive Universities (LERU). He is the former director of the educational support offi ce of the KU Leuven. His research focuses on instructional design in higher education settings. He teaches introductory courses on Learning and Instruction and more advanced courses on educational technology and instructional design. An Verburgh is currently preparing her PhD. For several years she was an active member of the educational support offi ce of the KU Leuven. In that position she coached the implementation of the bachelor-master structure at the KU Leuven. Her Phd addresses the relationship between research and education at the curriculum level. In contrast to the prevailing literature, she will focus on the actual situation rather than on the perceived or self-reported one.
