Taking an Active Role in an International Project: A Report of a Collaborative Research with Teacher Trainees in UK, Norway and Pakistan
Keywords:
international, research, higher education, collaborationAbstract
This report introduces an innovative research project about the dialogue among teacher trainees from UK, Norway and Pakistan, about a literary work, in a virtual environment. This project involved us, five English in Education academics from the three contexts, as researchers who gathered, analysed and reported on the international data collaboratively. We reflect on our experience as international researchers and the benefits we found in this type of association across borders for future teachers. This work has implications for teacher education and the methodologies used can be beneficial for future researchers and teacher educators.
