Impact of Online Journal Club On Educational Research Literacy: Introducing An Ongoing Project

Abstract

In the field of education science research and training on research literacy are still in their infancy. The strategy for enhancing the research literacy of students pursuing advanced degrees begins with their proficiency in reading research literature. This paper introduces an ongoing three-year research project that seeks to develop a theoretical framework for measuring educational research literacy, to implement a series of online journal club (OJC) events for global postgraduate students, and to evaluate the efficacy of OJC in increasing educational research literacy levels among participants. It solicits the participation of educational scholars as interviewees, OJC hosts, and/or research partners.
