title: Educational Researchers in Malaysia – Who They Conduct
Their Research for?
ispublished: pub
subjects: H
abstract: The urgent need to transfer the impact of educational research into practice is widely
reflected in national agendas around the world. However, the gap between research and
practice persists in other parts of the world as well as in Malaysia. This study sought to
explore the factors that drive educational research in Malaysia. We employed a qualitative
case study design to investigate the practices of 14 educational researchers using face to face
in-depth interviews and content analysis of their research documents. The findings revealed
three major drivers- researching for key performance indicators (KPI’s), researching for
citation and H-index, and researching for personal development as a researcher, which
shaped the research agenda of educational researchers. Higher education policy-related
implications are discussed to have educational researchers effectively target their research
for teachers’ consumption for improved teaching standards.
