Introducing a cross-cultural perspective on the PhD research process -- Defining the research question -- Choosing a research approach -- Research ethics -- Which language? -- Writing the thesis -- Reflections on the doctoral research process: exploring the pedagogical implications of this book
The research student population of higher educational institutions continues to expand to include people from an ever-widening range of cultural and educational backgrounds. However, many research methods courses are still directed at the traditional student population. This book examines aspects of postgraduate research from a cross-cultural perspective, analysing the dilemmas faced by international students when defining a research question, choosing research methods, collecting data, deciding which language to use and writing their theses.Through an exploration of how international students re-examine their beliefs and research practices during their study in the UK, this book challenges the assumptions of all those engaged in educational research, addressing key questions such as: how do our teaching and learning experiences shape our approach to educational research; how do we judge 'good' educational research; and, what does it mean to be critical. The book uses the real-life experiences of international students to illuminate the kinds of challenges they may face
