the use of radically different teaching and learning strategies such as enquiry-based learning ( Blackmore , 2009 ).
Conclusion
More fundamentally , perhaps there is a need to acknowledge that teaching and research are often intrinsically linked in the individuality of a single academic . Through this article we have been exploring the ways that teaching might impact research and vice-versa , but we are also pointing to the fact that most attempts to show this synergy becomes problematic because we always try to measure a single and isolated dimension ( i . e . teaching only or research-only ). Perhaps the biggest change that we are suggesting is a shift at the level of individual academic identity whereby a persons ’ capacity to be a good research / teacher ( simultaneously ), must be seen as both research and teaching together , and as more than the simple combinatory sum of added parts . In these aspirational learning contexts , where bridges are built linking research and teaching activity , students could learn to discover the world by doing ‘ real ’ research , underpinned by collaboration and scholarship , much earlier than at present time . Moving towards a more integrated model of higher education , one that values the scholarship of teaching and learning would provide a solid basis for giving students new exciting opportunities for enhancing levels of satisfaction , success and learning . The link between teaching and research has received a great deal of attention especially in this era of information technology and the explosion in knowledge which is uncontrollable . The growth of knowledge especially in the 21st and early 22nd century showed us the necessity to propose models which can define and specify the role of each player in the process of education , in knowledge transfer , in the teaching profession or in the research field . Each staff working in an organization contributes , one way or another , to what the organization do and do have specific tasks . Many models were proposed to analyze and explain how can we use the knowledge and human capacities to achieve an educational and professional development at the individual , group and organizational levels in higher education institutions and more will come .
