Perceptions of the Teaching-research Nexus: A Case Study of English Major Students at Naresuan University
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of the interrelationship between research study and teaching from English major students based on Healey’s (2005) framework. Student Perception of Research Integration Questionnaire (SPRIQ)” and interview were employed to gain quantitative and qualitative datasets from 32 English major students. The findings revealed that research integration, quality, and beliefs had a good and very good correlation among one another (r = 0.6-0.7; p<0.05). In the interview session, students paid much attention to their own research projects, but they did not have a high self-confidence to have their work published in academic journals. Even though they were very satisfied with the instructor, they preferred to have more examples of research articles in the class. Finally, they believed that having a chance to conduct their own research studies helped them to understand how to do research, and it would be beneficial for their future career advancement.
