Research-based learning and research-related teaching - An empirically grounded typology of the research-teaching nexus

'Research-based learning' is supposed to develop students' academic writing and research skills. However, no widely shared definition of research-based learning exists, and the concept is frequently used synonymously with other types of research-related teaching. This study aims to systematize this conceptual diversity by redefining research-based learning in the wider context of the research-teaching nexus. Based on a qualitative curriculum analysis, we identified twelve groups of research-related teaching, which allowed us to delimit research-based learning on an empirical basis.
