Abstract EN
Postdoctoral research fellowships are a recent phenomenon in teacher education and little has been documented about them.
This paper presents findings from a study in which the experiences of research fellows in a rural university were investigated.
The data were gathered as audio recordings from peer mentoring meetings, notes from these meetings, individual reflective journals, and interviews conducted with six key informants.
The analysis highlights that the experience of research fellowships was marked by a need to negotiate four competing, though not necessarily exclusive, demands related to the institute’s research productivity, its research culture and teaching, and personal professional goals.
A range of institutional practices and individual characteristics mediated these negotiations.
