Abstract

This research aimed to describe and evaluate research on the Postgraduate Taught (PGT) sector in the UK from January 2008 to October 2019. The focus on PGT allowed a detailed analysis of an often overlooked part of the HE sector. Methodologically, the research is original in its use of an innovative machine learning approach to a systematic scoping review. The review scrutinised subject areas, topics studied and methodological approaches taken. Initial searches found 9,814 potentially relevant studies which were reduced to 693 for analysis. The machine learning approach was successful in reducing time without compromising accuracy. We conclude that this methodological approach is appropriate for similar reviews within education. Findings show a dominance of research into professional education programmes; a majority of research with PGT as the context rather than focus; a small number of comparative and large-scale studies; and substantial research categorised as ‘scholarship of teaching’. While further research is required to ascertain if the findings are transferable to other national contexts, this study provides a reproducible methodology and identifies areas for future research to examine.

确定英国研究生教学教育的研究议程:机器学习的经验教训促进了系统的范围审查
本研究旨在描述和评估2008年1月至2019年10月英国研究生授课(PGT)部门的研究。对PGT的关注使我们能够对高等教育领域中经常被忽视的部分进行详细分析。在方法上,该研究的独创性在于使用创新的机器学习方法进行系统的范围审查。审查审查了学科领域、研究课题和采用的方法方法。最初的搜索发现了9814项可能相关的研究,然后减少到693项进行分析。机器学习方法在不影响准确性的情况下成功地减少了时间。我们的结论是,这种方法方法适用于教育领域的类似审查。调查结果显示,对专业教育课程的研究占主导地位;大多数以PGT为背景而不是重点的研究;少量的比较和大规模的研究;以及被归类为“教学学术”的大量研究。虽然需要进一步研究以确定调查结果是否适用于其他国家情况,但这项研究提供了一种可重复的方法,并确定了今后研究的领域。

期刊介绍: The Oxford Review of Education is a well established journal with an extensive international readership. It is committed to deploying the resources of a wide range of academic disciplines in the service of educational scholarship, and the Editors welcome articles reporting significant new research as well as contributions of a more analytic or reflective nature. The membership of the editorial board reflects these emphases, which have remained characteristic of the Review since its foundation. The Review seeks to preserve the highest standards of professional scholarship in education, while also seeking to publish articles which will be of interest and utility to a wider public, including policy makers.
