“…The situation in India re ects a research climate that is widely found in the developing world (see, for example, Mwiria, 1996 for a discussion of similar issues in East Africa; and Crossley & Vulliamy, 1997). Raina (2001), analysing contributions to the Indian Educational Review (IER), one of India's leading educational journals, of which he was editor at the time of writing, notes that over the last three decades, survey, experimental methods and content analysis have constituted 85% of all studies, and that 'the preferred investigative methods have been those grounded in a quantitative, positivistic paradigm' (Raina, 2001, p. 120). The research community remains predominantly male: only 24% of the researchers in his sample were female (Raina, 2001, p. 124).…”

This paper argues for the need to adopt a more participatory and research-based approach to teacher development in India. Drawing on the experiences of a participatory teacher educator development project in three States, we discuss processes of developing a democratically orientated qualitative research team to work with teachers and teacher educators, highlighting the interplay between their education and socialisation and the demands of the methodology. In the second part of the paper, aspects of developing collaborative action research projects with teacher educators in the context of District Institutes of Education and Training are discussed. Both these approaches require the development of autonomy and critical re exivity, and although there are tensions in this process, these emerge as vital components of developing a more democratic approach to teacher education.

“…In India, much of the training of new researchers maintains a focus on quantitative research methods (Khaparde, 2002;Raina, 2001). Where researchers have embarked on qualitative studies, they have often found it necessary to find their own route to understanding the complexities surrounding methods and the management of data (Saxena, 2017), or face challenges in having the validity of their methodological approach understood (Singal, 2010).…”

This paper reports the findings from a pre- and post- survey of participants and interviews with a small number of course members. A three-day course of training in qualitative research methods was delivered to a cohort of inexperienced researchers, all of whom were working in the field of special educational needs and disability, in Kolkata, India. The study examines the effectiveness of the training, taking into account the teaching methods used and the structure of the workshop. The findings suggest that emerging researchers prefer a hands-on workshop approach to more traditional lecture delivery of research training. The levels of support provided by tutors and the interaction with practical activities using bespoke resources found favour with participants. Following the training workshop, members expressed greater confidence in their ability to use qualitative research methods and understood the relation of this approach to quantitative studies. Some who completed the course have begun to conduct independent research investigations using the methods taught.
