“…Levy and Petrulis (2012) conducted a qualitative study into a student research course with inquiry-based learning pedagogies from which can be concluded that there is a relationship between students' understanding of inquiry, learning and their knowledge of the topic. A survey study conducted by Spronken-Smith et al (2014) found that first-year undergraduate students notice fewer elements of an institutional research culture than senior students. Our study aims to describe the extent to which first-year student perceptions of research-teaching integration are related to student learning outcomes, such as students' beliefs about the value of research and student achievement.…”

“…Some studies revealed that staff needs to be supported in order to immerse students into the research culture (e.g. Brew, 2010;Spronken-Smith et al, 2014), and to incorporate research into teaching (Hu, van der Rijst, van Veen, & Verloop, 2014). Yet research integrated into teaching within courses appears to be one of the most important factors in promoting student learning and student beliefs about research (Verburgh & Elen, 2011).…”

“…Strengthening research-teaching integration to benefit student learning about research in universities can still be identified as a challenge that needs to be met in higher education (Spronken-Smith, Mirosa, & Darrou, 2014;van der Rijst, Visser-Wijnveen, Verloop, & Van Driel, 2013). Teachers should explicitly express research in their undergraduate teaching in a way that is visible and approachable for students in order for student learning to benefit research integration, since student perceptions of teaching play an important role in fostering student learning outcomes (e.g.…”

Research should be explicated in undergraduate teaching in a way that stimulates student learning. Previous studies in higher education have shown that student perceptions of research integrated into teaching could promote student learning, but have also indicated that it can be difficult to confront first-year undergraduates with research during courses. In this study, we describe relationships between first-year medical student perceptions of research, learning outcomes and beliefs about the value of research. The Student Perception of Research Integration Questionnaire was filled out by 261 students. Answers were related to student achievement. The findings suggest that student motivation for research is strongly related to merging current research into teaching. Students rather recognised an emphasis on research methodologies than research engagement. Particularly student beliefs about research are related to achievement. It is suggested that to foster positive beliefs about research, teachers should familiarise students with current research and create enthusiasm for research.

“…In general, learning has been most effective when students have been able to take part in research projects as early as possible. Numerous researchers have stressed the importance of students becoming active constructors and users of information (Robertson & Blackler, 2006;Turner et al, 2008; see also Brew, 2012, p. 110;Spronken-Smith, Mirosa, & Darrou, 2014).…”

Nordisk politiforskning har som mål å presentere ny kunnskap og forskning innen politiforskning, politivitenskap og polisiaer virksomhet (policing) i de nordiske landene.Tidsskriftets hovedformål er å medvirke til utviklingen av fagfeltet politiforskning, samt spredningen av relevant forskning innen akademia, blant praktikere, ledere, i utdanningssystemet, myndighetene og media. Tidsskriftet skal ha en uavhengig kritisk rolle i fagutviklingen og tar sikte på å styrke fagfeltets akademiske kvalitet, samt publisere artikler av praktikere som utfører forskning på eget felt.Tidsskriftets målgruppe er primaert forskere, utdanningsinstitusjoner på alle nivåer, praktikere, politiets ledelse, media og politiske myndigheter, isaer innen justissektoren.Tidsskriftet skal publisere artikler på norsk, dansk, svensk og engelsk. REDAKTØRER LederVelkommen til det første nummer af Nordisk Politiforskning i 2017. Jeg vil gerne begynde med at takke for den store interesse, der er for at publicere i tidsskriftet. Vi modtager mange -og mangeartede -bidrag, hvilket afspejler den store bredde, der er i den nordiske politiforskning. Vi er i redaktionen af den opfattelse, at netop bredde, såvel empirisk som teoretisk og analytisk, er en vaesentlig kvalitet, når det gaelder forskning i politiet, og vi er derfor åbne over for mange forskellige tilgange til emnet. Dette afspejler sig også i dette nummer, hvor vi bringer artikler om så forskellige emner som pålideligheden af risikovurderingsvaerktøjer, effekter af kontakt med politiet, politiuddannelse i teori og praksis samt politiets syn på brug af magtmidler og saerligt peberspray. Klara Svalin har undersøgt, hvor stor overensstemmelse der er mellem risikovurderinger foretaget af forskellige personer, når de anvender de to forskellige risikovurderingsvaerktøjer, som bruges i svensk politi. Hun finder, at der er god overensstemmelse på nogle områder, mens saerligt vurderingen af ofrets risikoprofil i et af vaerktøjerne svinger meget.Gunnar Thomassens artikel viser på baggrund af norske surveydata, at såvel politiinitieret som egeninitieret kontakt mellem politi og borgere er korreleret med tillid til politiet. Den politiinitierede kontakt har saerligt sammenhaeng med opfattelsen af processuel retfaerdighed, mens den egeninitierede kontakt er forbundet med oplevelsen af politiets effektivitet.To artikler drejer sig om forskellige spørgsmål i forbindelse med politiets uddannelse: Myllylä, Hakala og Myllelä viser, at undervisere på den finske politiuddannelse opfatter forskning og udvikling som en integreret del af deres arbejde. Der er ganske vist forskel på opfattelsen af vigtigheden af forskningsvinklen mellem civile og politiuddannede undervisere, men den forskningsmaessige tilgang synes at have vundet indpas. Artiklen slår til lyd for, at forskning og undervisning ikke bør ses som adskilte dele, men derimod som en integreret del af undervisernes arbejde.Bengt Bergmans artikel drejer sig om de politifolk, der superviserer politiaspiranter i deres praktiske traening. Undersøgelsen viser ...
