Dear NERQ colleagues,
We are excited to share the following with you. Within the #NERQ special interest group on education of research methods, we have developed a survey which aims to explore the characteristics of teaching research methodology in higher education across Europe. With this survey, we hope to create an overview of attitudes and teaching formats across disciplines and countries related to teaching research methodology in higher education, to get a better understanding of current practices and needs. That will allow for sharing best practices and the design of educational interventions. With the survey we aim to target both teachers of research methodology and teachers of other subjects active in higher education (for more information, please visit OSF | Research Methodology Education: A cross-sectional survey on Practices and Attitudes across the European Context.
Many thanks to all those who have helped us revising and piloting the survey. The survey is now in its final format and we have ethical approval for our study granted by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Split. That means that we are ready to roll out the survey and we need your help.
We would like to ask you whether you could distribute the survey within your networks. In return to your contribution to data collection on this project, we will offer co-authorship of the final manuscript (in addition to the requirement of reviewing and signing off).
If you would like to be involved, please answer the following questions and reply back to us* before 13-03-2024.
-
What is the country and the discipline you work in?
-
Are you involved in teaching research methodology yourself?
-
Do you have the capacity to roll this survey out both within and beyond your institution. If you are keeping the survey in English language (see below for translations), then this would simply be disseminating the survey link via Survey Monkey. Note that we want a multidisciplinary sample, so the survey should preferably be sent to every researcher at the respective institution.
-
Would you need or wish to translate the survey to your local language? Please note, that If you want to translate the survey, you would be responsible for this.
We look forward to hearing from you and are happy to answer any questions you might have,
