5 Assessment
5.1
Assessment specification
Developing a career in research is, in part, about establishing a sustainable cycle of identifying a
research question, resourcing research projects to investigate the question, running projects,
publishing the results and reformulating new research questions.
Obtaining funding, managing projects and publishing are only three elements in this cycle. A fourth
element is the development and continuous improvement of a research strategy that provides a
vision for a range of activity that results in new knowledge.
The assignment for this module is a report and presentation describing an individual’s research
strategy and research plans, and a reflective commentary. The strategy will identify fundamental
research questions; why they merit investigation. The plan will include; a set of projects; likely
funders; anticipated publications. The reflective commentary will use a template for research
leadership and will report on feedback from their mentor on their strategy. The presentation will be
made in the final seminar of the module.
When reflecting on the research strategy and plan it is suggested that participants might like to
take the perspective of a potential grant application reviewer or promotions panel member. When
reviewing the literature participants might like to consider whether it is of a quality that would be
acceptable in a refereed journal.
The module will be assessed on this single assignment. This will be marked by the mentor and by
the module leader. Both will use the assessment criteria given in Section 5.3. A purpose of the final
presentation is for a participant to ensure the module leader appreciates the challenges of their
research and has a level of understanding that will enable him to follow the broad themes of the
research in a participant’s assignment. The presentation is not assessed but it does have the
potential to influence the assessment of the submitted report.
The report should be between 3,500 and 4,000 words in length (excluding the appendices).
Reports should have as the cover page the Assignment Cover Sheet for the module available on
the PGCLTHE web pages, http://www.leeds.ac.uk/sddu/pgcert/index.htm, under Assessment
Information and should be submitted to Jo Siddons, room GO9, The Baines Wing.
For participants wishing to complete the module in 2005/06 then the assessment report should be
submitted by 31st July 2006.
5.2
Flexibility
Given the range of staff that are registered on this programme and hence the range of teaching
contexts they work in, you may find that the assignment specification and assessment criteria do
not fit your situation. Please discuss any concerns that you have with a member of the team – we
will be able to solve the problem.

University of Leeds
5.3
Assessment Criteria
The written component of the assignment should contain both descriptive and reflective elements.
The assignment should demonstrate both the extent to which the module objectives have been
addressed and the participant’s development as a reflective practitioner.
In particular:
ref
Criterion
5-1
The context of the research should be detailed. This should include the need for the
research and positioning relative to research leaders in the area.
5-2
The key research issues should be clearly stated and linked to the research context
5-3
A strategy for addressing the key research issues should be described
5-4
The ethical issues associated with the avenue of research should be considered
5-5
The research methods to be used should be described. The research methods
should be realistic and be appropriate to the research questions and the ethical
constraints
5-6
A research plan that shows the research projects that are needed to implement the
strategy should be presented. This should include activities that result in research
outputs, such as publications, and obtaining resources for research projects, be it
grant funding, research leave etc. The plan should be appropriate to the research
issues, research strategy, research methods and ethical constraints.
5-7
The research plan should relate to key research indicators such as those used in the
Research Assessment Exercise. The plan should indicate any projects that will
require grants to be applied for, including the broad value of the grant application
and where it is to be submitted. The plan should also indicate the likely research
outputs that are likely to be produced, including the anticipated original contribution
to knowledge, from the planned research and where they will be made publicly
available, for example which journal will a paper be submitted to.
5-8
Key issues associated with managing the planned research projects should be
discussed. For example: if a project has a more than 2 researchers involved how at
the interactions between the researchers going to be managed; if the direction of a
project is dependent on a key experiment giving an anticipated result, then what
mitigation is in place should the experiment not give the anticipated result.
5-9
A critical and reflective commentary should be provided which includes a detailed
analysis and evaluation of the research strategy and plan based on appropriate
evidence. The commentary should discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the
research strategy and the likely success of the research plan. The commentary
should include plans for extending and enhancing research practice.
5-10
An evaluative review of the underpinning (generic research practice literature on
such things as publishing, writing grant applications, project planning and strategy)
theory should be incorporated and referenced.

6 Mentor’s Task
The role of the mentor is crucial to this module. Before a participant is enrolled on the module they
must obtain the commitment of their mentor. It is anticipated that the mentor will be the
participant’s probationary advisor or other senior member of staff who is able to give them
guidance and advice on their research.
A mentors’ responsibilities will include:
•
Meeting with the participant on a least four occasions to advise them on the development of
their research strategy. It is anticipated that the will be one meeting at the beginning of the
strategy development to plan the work to be done and one meeting at the end to review the
strategy. The meetings in the middle will be used to provide guidance and review progress;
•
Marking of the assignment;
•
Offering support and encouragement;
•
Drawing on their own expertise to help the researcher to develop their research and
publications;
•
Advising and support the researcher in drawing up a personal research plan including the
setting of targets;
•
Acting as a sounding board or a mirror for the exploration of ideas and issues arising from
the research being carried out;
•
Giving constructive feedback on the research being undertaken;
•
Reading and comment on draft papers for publication;
•
Offering advice and guidance on suitable journals for papers to be submitted to;
•
Engaging in mutual monitoring of the achievement of targets and projected outcomes with
the researcher.
