  • School of Architecture and the Built Environment (SABE)
    A Research Strategy 1. Key targets and objectives in RAE 2001 1.1 Key events and outcomes This Unit of Assessment (UoA) covers Transport and Logistics; Housing, Planning and Regeneration; and Tourism, for which the relevant research groups are based in the School of Architecture and the Built Environment (SABE). In addition, SABE is making a submission to UoA 30 (Architecture and the Built Environment) for the first time. During the period 2001-07, those submitting to UoA 31 have secured research funding in excess of £5.3m, published at least 75 refereed journal articles, 10 chapters and eight books, as well as producing many research reports for clients (see www.wmin.ac.uk/sabe/page-5 and www.wmin.ac.uk/westminsterresearch for the institutional repository for staff publications). The range and quality of our research has been reinforced by the internal appointment of three professors (Bailey, Roberts and Newman), one Reader (Maitland) and three post-doctoral fellowships (Kamvasinou is entered in RA2) since 2001. New Lecturer and Researcher appointments are fully integrated in the School’s vibrant research culture. All the research groups discussed below have enhanced their international reputation through the recruitment of researchers and research students, as well as by securing research commissions against substantial competition. Research clusters are extending their contacts with national and international research networks and institutional contacts overseas. As well as the research outputs discussed here and in RA2, the research clusters carry out a wide range of applied research for public, private and charitable clients in the wider built environment ‘policy community’.

  • 14 Could Be Peak Age for Believing in Conspiracy Theories
    A study conducted by a team of psychologists has uncovered that belief in conspiracy theories flourishes in teenage years. Feb 09, 2021 08:04 GMT 14 COULD BE PEAK AGE FOR BELIEVING IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES Belief in conspiracy theories is heightened as adolescents reach 14 years of age, reveals new research led by Northumbria University. A study conducted by a team of psychologists from across the UK has uncovered that belief in conspiracy theories flourishes in teenage years. More specifically, they found that 14 is the age adolescents are most likely to start believing in conspiracy theories, with beliefs remaining constant into early adulthood. The findings were discovered using the first ever scientific measure of conspiracy beliefs suitable for analysing younger populations. A paper detailing the research has been published in the British Journal of Developmental Psychology online today. Addressing gaps in research Previous research has demonstrated that conspiracy theories can affect people’s beliefs and behaviours in significant ways. For example, they can influence people’s views and decisions on important issues such as climate change and vaccinations. With around 60% of British people believing in at least one conspiracy theory, understanding their popularity is important. Despite their significance, however, all existing research on conspiracy theories has been conducted with adults, and research methods used to measure conspiracy beliefs have been designed only with adults in mind. To date, therefore, there has been a lack of knowledge about when and why conspiracy beliefs develop in young people, and how these beliefs change over time. Now, a timely project funded by the British Academy has developed and validated a conspiracy beliefs questionnaire suitable for young people, called the Adolescent Conspiracy Beliefs Questionnaire (ACBQ).

  • Teaching Academics to Teach: About Pedagogy
    Roberts, Nicola (2013) Teaching Academics to Teach: About Pedagogy. Emerge, 5. pp. 1-16. Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/7407/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. EMERGE 2013: Article Issue 5, pp. 1-16 Teaching Academics to Teach: About Pedagogy Dr. Nicola Ballantyne University of Sunderland Abstract Higher education institutions have become increasingly concerned about retaining students largely because they are penalised financially for losing them. Whilst much has been written about the impact factors such as finances, family support and previous education has upon students’ withdrawal from higher education, much less focus appears to be on actual ‘classroom’ practices. Student-centred approaches to teaching and learning produce ‘higher quality learning outcomes’ in students and thereby facilitate students’ retention at university. For these reasons, this research sought to assess pedagogical practices at a University in the North of England. Six first-year tutors were interviewed and their teaching observed. Findings indicate that whilst tutors recognised the challenges their students faced in learning and staying-power at university, and despite some pockets of exemplary teaching practices, most tutors lacked ‘proper pedagogical knowledge’ about teaching and learning in higher education. The research has implications for university infrastructures, namely teacher- training and creative teaching strategies. Pedagogy and the Retention of Students Universities are penalised financially if they struggle to retain recruited students (Crosling, Thomas and Heagney, 2008). First-year students are particularly vulnerable to dropping-out of university (Yorke, 2000; McInnis, 2001; Haggis and Pouget, 2002; Christie, Munro and Fisher, 2004; Baderin, 2005; Wilcox, Winn and Fyvie-Gauld, 2005).
