- W324620222 abstract "In an increasingly competitive economy, the capacity for self-motivation, problem-solving skills and an ability to think critically are core graduate attributes. However, the capacity to create an educational environment that develops and harnesses such skills is a distinct challenge as resources become increasingly restricted. Geographical Skills and Techniques was a new module introduced in January 2009 in the second year undergraduate geography curriculum at University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, to introduce students to a range of skills and techniques relevant to their training as geographers, drawing on the recommended skills and attributes identified by the Quality Assurnace Agency (QAA) Subject Benchmark statement in the UK (QAA, 2007). The aim was to develop an awareness of, and ability to use, the range of material and approaches necessary to undertake successful geographical research in line with the strategic importance in the university of developing closer research-teaching linkages. The module was evaluated at the end of the semester through an online anonymous survey delivered using Zoomerang (http://www.zoomerang.com). The survey examined student’s learning experiences generally as well as in each specific component: library skills, cartography, quantitative techniques, qualitative methods and fieldwork. This paper assesses the effectiveness of this module in developing the research capacity of the undergraduate students. It highlights the key challenges of effectively embedding this module in the geography programme both from an institutional and from a learner perspective. It concludes that for the module to be successfully continued in future years, student behaviour and expectations must be managed more effectively and greater institutional support should be provided to enhance student learning." @default.
