Research and Teaching in Gedu College of Business Studies (GCBS): Does the interplay benefit the students?

Abstract

" There is a long-standing question of whether there exist any nexus between Teaching and research or not. There is a strong argument that research and teaching should go side by side. For University Level teaching the faculty members must pursue research along with teaching. However, some studies pointed out that research and teaching have no linkage with each other. The key research objective is whether the faculty members perceive a relation to exist between the teaching and research, and does it, in their opinion, helping in delivering superior teaching to the students. The research approach adopted for the study is the qualitative research design. Information was collected by interviewing 45 faculties of the Gedu College of Business Studies (GCBS). The research unveils that although the faculties of GCBS are doing lots of research work, however, while teaching in the class faculties are opting for student-oriented teaching pedagogy. The research concludes that the research by the faculties in GCBS is not benefitting much to the student’s communities of the GCBS"
