What is Teaching x Research Cooperation Model
[Adapted images retrieved from the Internet]
[Back to GLT: Read in English]The Lab adopts the Teaching x Research model of cooperation with teachers and researchers. The Lab offers in-service teachers free curricula and teaching materials that have been developed based on theories and teaching experiences and then teachers teach the course in their schools and give their feedback on the implementation.
This model successfully combines teaching and research and more importantly therefore creates a virtuous circle between teaching, research and certainly learning. In this mutually beneficial model, by only choosing and teaching a course that has been well developed, teachers may put more effort in their teaching profession; by receiving feedback from teachers, the Lab may continually refine the course based on the feedback and further research. On the other hand, the Lab may collect the very precious experiences and data from in-service teachers that contribute to better and more helpful-to-the-scene theories.
Simply put, the Teaching x Research model is similar to the concept of cohort and yet what's better, in this model, the precious teaching experiences from different teachers can be collected and put into best use, both for future teaching of the same course and research. In other words, teachers are relieved from the burden of starting from scratch their own curricula amidst all sorts of demanding requirements from schools, and researchers are relieved from collecting data that overloaded practitioners are reluctant to give. Yes, it is a win-win situation. And what's best is that it is a sure-win situation for our students!
