Editor's Notes
- Since last month, 17 researchers have joined this initiative and are preparing to launch their online journal club events. Sessions: 30 minutes as a given period when a user visits the website Bounce rate: inverse of engagement rate, it is the % of sessions that were not engaged sessions. Average bounce rate: 26% - 70% Session duration: a session ends after 30-minute user inactivity.
- We can see a great overlapping between these two categorizations. The only difference is information literacy, now we know that in the research context, it is the ability to use resources such as electronic media and databases to locate and retrieve research articles. This is a particularly important literacy aspect in the research context for any researcher. Why?
- There was also an attempt to propose three literacy aspects of educational research literacy by a group of German scholars, based on the four research processes. As you can see, although naming is different, the four aspects of information search, verbal, visual, and numeracy literacy can be also found here under the skin.
- It is the process of reading and understanding verbal, numeracy and visual representation of research publications that truly fascinates me. I want to understand how scholarly reading can be executed effectively and efficiently, and how such a process can be externalized as shareable experience to benefit a greater audience who need such training. The division of literacy into verbal, numeracy, and visual literacy here is not out of vacuum.
- For whose who are not familiar with journal club activities, let me give you a short introduction. In its traditional format, journal club involves a group of people who meet weekly or monthly to discuss current research in a topic relevant to their field. The purpose is to get updates from the most recent research. It is like reading newspaper together and discuss its implications in life. The earliest references to a journal club was mentioned by Sir James Paget, a British surgeon, who describes a group at a local Hospital in London in the mid-19th century as "a kind of club ... where we sit in a room and read the journals.“ The first formalized journal club was created by Sir William Osler at McGill University in Montreal in 1875. The original purpose of Osler's journal club was because he could not afford certain journal subscription fees.
- Young researchers need to be introduced to the right space, the right materials, the right tools, and the right procedure, in order to perform scholarly reading tasks and produce satisfying research thinking and outputs.
- ResearchIC project organizes online journal club events as the learning space where senior researchers introduce high quality journal articles in the domain as materials, and their reading strategies as procedure. Students are given different tools such as discussion forum, database of user-generated commentary videos, multimedia editor, online meeting room, and twitter hashtag, which will help build student-centered journal club experience.
- The project will develop a test called educational research literature reading test, abbreviated as ERLRT. The test will include a deck of mini-tests. Each OJC event will contain one deck of mini-test. When the students complete a certain number of OJC, they will be able to unlock the result of their ERLRT score. The ERLRT score also comes with an evaluation report, which reveals the current level of reading competency of the student, and offer suggestion for improvement. It acts as both a diagnosis and planning tool for students to become a better reader of educational research literature.
- Next year, the research focus of this project is to continue doing literature review to support the development of ERLRT test, and to interview 100 educational researchers about their strategies in locating, reading, and organizing literature.
- In 2024, a total of 100 online journal club events will be fully running with 100 educational researchers as their hosts. Global research students in education science will be invited to participate as attendees. The effect of these OJC events on attendees’ reading ability development will be evaluated by using the ERLRT tests.
