Abstract

Background: Even though replication research has gained traction within academia over the recent years, it is not often well-received as a stand-alone thesis topic by supervisors and university administrators.Methods: In this qualitative investigation, we delve into the perspectives of academic supervisors on the feasibility of replication as a thesis topic within the field of applied linguistics (AL). Drawing on Institutional Theory, administrative pressures facing supervisors on what to be considered permissible for a thesis were also explored. By conducting semi-structured e-mail interviews with a global cohort of AL supervisors and a thematic analysis of their responses, a nuanced landscape was brought to light.Results: Supervisors outlined numerous benefits associated with replication including fostering academic advancement as well as providing opportunities for reevaluating prior research. Nonetheless, they also pointed to several obstacles along the way, such as concerns over originality, constraints on time and resources, and the necessity for mentorship. Moreover, supervisors emphasized their pivotal role as decision-makers in accepting or rejecting replication for a thesis project, while acknowledging the partial influence of institutional pressures.Conclusions: Lastly, some implications and recommendations on allocating more resources to replication research are provided.

将复制纳入高等教育:导师的观点和机构的压力。
背景:尽管近年来复制研究在学术界获得了越来越多的关注,但作为一个独立的论文题目,它并不经常受到导师和大学管理者的欢迎:在这项定性调查中,我们深入研究了学术导师对应用语言学(AL)领域将复制作为论文题目的可行性的看法。此外,我们还借鉴制度理论,探讨了导师们在论文允许内容方面所面临的行政压力。通过对全球一批应用语言学导师进行半结构化电子邮件访谈,并对他们的回答进行主题分析,揭示了细微的情况:结果:导师们概述了复制的诸多好处,包括促进学术进步以及为重新评估先前的研究提供机会。然而,他们也指出了复制过程中的一些障碍,如对原创性的担忧、时间和资源的限制以及导师指导的必要性。此外,导师们还强调了他们作为决策者在接受或拒绝论文项目复制中的关键作用,同时也承认机构压力的部分影响:最后,就为复制研究分配更多资源提出了一些影响和建议。
