Abstract: This position paper is written at the very start of a SNF funded project on research education in the social
sciences. We present a preliminary model for an international learning and teaching environment for PhD
students in education. Based on a conceptual framework drawing on research and open education, virtual and
scientific mobility, articulated to the broader concept of the knowledge economy, the model is fivefold. It
addresses pedagogical and technological issues, suggests a dual tutoring system to accompany PhD students,
promotes virtual scientific mobility and is connected to viable and fair economic and institutional
surroundings. The paper interprets SDG 4 widely, suggesting early integration of young researchers into
international scientific networks can contribute to address contextual and global educational challenges
intelligently.
1 INTRODUCTION
The overall objective of this position paper is to
present possible avenues for an international learning
environment in research education. The environment
is designed for PhD students in the social sciences and
particularly in the field of education and digital
education.
Education as a concept presupposes, on the
cognitive level, one possesses a body of knowledge
as well as conceptual schemes that lead to an
understanding of underlying organisations of facts. It
also refers to connecting to a wider system of beliefs
rather than being limited to the training of given skills
(Peters, 1966). In the same line of thought, education
is to be understood as a “focus for inquiry” (Bridges,
2017, p. 15) and not as a discipline.
As far as research on education is concerned,
educational research is massive and diverse. It relies
on “methods and methodologies on every part of the
academy (as well as other spheres of social and
professional practice)” (Bridges, 2017, p. 2).
When it comes to research education,
practitioners and young researchers often say that
methodology courses usually do not come at the right
time in the curriculum and/or that they are inadequate
a
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5461-2307
in terms of learning outcomes (e.g. Attia & Edge,
2017).
To address this issue and the need for “just in
time” methodological content and tutoring, a small-
scale initiative, taking the form of on-line modules in
research methodology, was piloted during the
academic year 2018-9. This initiative is rooted in the
specific context of an exceptional scientific growth
attested in North Africa, which, as a corollary
increases the demand for methodology education
(Waast & Gaillard, 2018). It mixed francophone PhD
students from the North and from the South and was
the occasion to highlight key strengths and
weaknesses of these on-line modules which were
offered in the form of free continuing education
without formal assessment or certification.
Drawing on that experience, the specific goals of
this contribution consist in presenting features for an
improved learning and teaching online environment
that offers certification. Research education, open
education and scientific virtual mobility, articulated
to the knowledge economy as a conceptual
framework, represent the bedrock on which this paper
unfolds.

2 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 The Knowledge Economy
In 1999, the Bologna reform and its eponymous
declaration formally launched the knowledge society.
Its goal was to transform the European Union into the
most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based
economy by 2010 (Huisman, Adelman, Hsieh,
Shams, & Wilkins, 2012). The levers to reach this
goal are materialised in the European Higher
Education Area (EHEA) and consist in i)
restructuring courses in 3 levels (Bachelor, Master,
PhD); (ii) establishing transparency, compatibility
and mutual recognition of course credits with the
means of European Credit Transfer System (ECTS);
(iii) implementing a quality assurance system,
vehicled by qualification frameworks; iv)
encouraging mobility with the Diploma Supplement
and Learning Agreements for Studies; and (v)
realigning higher education to meet the needs of a
globalised knowledge economy (Bachmann, 2018;
Buchem et al., 2018). The initial inter-governmental
process quickly evolved into multi-level governance
involving a myriad of actors and very soon expanded
to southern Mediterranean countries. In 2003, North
Africa was identified as a priority area in order to
create a Euro-Mediterranean job market, transparent
in terms of qualifications (Huisman et al., 2012).
2.2 Research Education
Teaching research methodology in the social sciences
is still lacking a common pedagogical culture (Earley,
2014; Kilburn, Nind, & Wiles, 2014; Wagner,
Garner, & Kawulich, 2011), three interrelated
pedagogical goals prove more efficient than others
and consist in i) making the research process visible
by actively engaging learners in real research; ii)
actually conducting research to take ownership and
understand what research is; and iii) reflecting
critically about the learning experience (Lewthwaite
& Nind, 2016; M. Nind & S. Lewthwaite, 2018; M
Nind & S Lewthwaite, 2018). At a finer granularity,
research teaching pedagogy got interested into
activities teachers and learners may engage in
(Dawson, 2016) and classified these from the
philosophical foundations of teaching approaches to
the actual classroom activities (Nind & Lewthwaite,
2019). Following these recommendations, research
methodology education necessitates small scale
courses and proximity tutoring.
In terms of training, early career researchers seek
active involvement in trainings they are the
beneficiaries of to gain ownership (Barnard,
Mallaband, & Leder Mackley, 2019) and publishing
remains their main concern (Mabe, 2010 cited by
Nicholas et al., 2017). Solid training and critical
thinking towards methodological practices are of
foremost importance in such a context and should
avoid adopting questionable research practices (John,
Loewenstein, & Prelec, 2012) and allow detecting
them.
2.3 Open Education
To be successful, open education infrastructure must
support all 4 interdependent components: open
competencies, educational resources, assessment and
credentials (Wiley, 2017). In addition, it must support
open admission and open education practices
(Cronin, 2017).
Open competencies exist in isolated formats in
different parts of the open web. An effort to
synthesise and map the competencies doctoral
students in education should master in 2020 and in the
future still needs to be done. To achieve this, some
sound and in-depth work, based on a comprehensive
review of existing competence frameworks (e.g. Van
der Maren, Brodeur, Gervais, Gilles, & Voz, 2019) in
different languages, and added with prospective and
visionary approaches, should be conducted.
To develop identified competences, learning
assets should comply with open education and
particularly fall within open educational resources
(OER). OER are defined as “teaching, learning and
research materials in any medium digital or
otherwise that reside in the public domain or have
been released under an open license that permits no-
cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by
others with no or limited restrictions” (UNESCO
2017 cited by UNESCO, 2019, p. 9). This definition
has reached a certain consensus but many issues
tackled by research remain unsolved, among which
models of sharing and producing OER for instance
(Wiley, Bliss, & McEwen, 2014). OER “come with
an irrevocable grant of permission to engage in the 5R
activities retain, reuse, revise, remix, and
redistribute” (Wiley, 2017, p. 196) and concrete
solutions are experimented. The surrounding setting -
institutions, laws, policies, economy, technology
must be ready and supportive (Döbeli, Hielscher, &
Hartmann, 2018) for OER to have a chance to grow.
Blockchain might offer technological solutions
for open assessment and credentials (Anderberg et al.,
2019; Grech & Camilleri, 2017; Müller, 2020) and
new experiences need to be carried out. More
conceptually speaking, evaluation is to be rethought
in relationship to practice and resource rich
environments (Halbherr & Kapur, 2019).

Open credentials refer to learner-owned
certification that can be remixed to feature a learner's
expertise according to contextual demands. Tamper-
proofed open credentials are the basis to establish
trust and retrace the origin of a validation (Wiley,
2017).
Open admission refers to admitting learners
without institutional entry requirements (i.e. prior
diploma). In reference to Hart (1992)’s learner
participation ladder, open educational practices refer
to levels 7 and 8 in which learners and teachers design
together an education project and co-create
knowledge processes (Cronin, 2017). Co-creation
poses the question of practicing and valuing virtual
scientific mobility in open education.
2.4 Virtual Mobility
At a normative level, online international learning is
discussed as “a non-discriminatory alternative of
mobility” (Buchem et al., 2018, p. 352), that should
be implemented institutionally, within any
curriculum of the EHEA.
In practice, though, a lack of knowledge on how
to actually implement it and of its efficiency in terms
of learning outcomes are obstacles to spread it. The
aim of the European Virtual Mobility Learning Hub,
within the current Open Virtual Mobility project,
precisely consists in suggesting a realistic framework.
It will be based on open education and promote
achievement, assessment and credentialing of virtual
mobility skills.
Some higher education institutions have already
integrated virtual mobility in their curricula and
formalised requirements for course designers that
recommend i) engaging with international peers on
content; ii) designing internationalised learning
outcomes informed collaborative activities; iii)
nurturing reflection on the learning that ensued from
the intercultural encounter (Villar-Onrubia & Rajpal,
2016).
In North Africa, a recent Erasmus+ project, called
OpenMed, reports an online international learning
experience and findings show, among other things,
that readiness to adopt open education is related to the
degree of internationalisation of institutions; that
clear learning activities promote collaboration both at
the local and international levels; and that differences
in academic traditions drawing back to respective
French and English influences exist between the
Maghreb and the Middle East (Nascimbeni et al.,
2018).
Virtual (Deardorff, de Wit, Heyl, & Adams, 2012)
and scientific mobility (Boekholt, Edler,
Cunningham, & Flanagan, 2009; Gaillard & Bouabid,
2017) are key for the development of the researcher,
institutions involved and countries. Thus, scientific
mobility should definitely be part of any learning
environment in research education. The concept of
“intelligently internationalised researcher” refers to
seeking for cross-country collaborations and risk
taking in order to establish some scientific equity in
the world (de Gayardon, 2019).
2.5 Contextual and International
Tutoring
Learner support is a key issue in the entire learning
and teaching design process. It should be aligned with
the overall objectives and underpinning
epistemologies of the learning environment. Tutoring
can thus be said to be situated, physically and at a
distance, to support the three key moments of
intervention. The first is in the beginning of the
learning experience, to negotiate and establish a
relationship based on trust. The second is during the
learning process by providing valuable, timely and
regular formative feedback. And the third is at the end
to retrace the entire learning process and help move
the experience forward. In addition, tutors make use
of a set of tools – cognitive as well as technological –
and engage into some form of continuing education
to remain up-to-date (Class, 2009).
Designing tutoring support that comprehends a
local and a distant component is of utmost importance
in research methodology training (Class, 2019). The
local tutor plays a fundamental role in introducing
young researchers into research networks with given
interests and practices. The distant tutor provides
them with another set of skills – e.g. epistemological,
methodological, strategical, communication
toolboxes. Confronting and complementing what
both kind of tutors provide in a constructive and
critical perspective should help to educate an open
generation of researchers. This not to mention peer
tutoring or collaborative learning and the source of
richness that each individual represents in such an
international learning and teaching environment.
Interactions lead to discussions, which in turn lead to
potential questioning of each other’s practices and
potential redefinition of new common ways.
3 MODEL SUGGESTED
To train PhD students, and building on this
conceptual framework, the model we suggest is
fivefold.
CSEDU 2020 - 12th International Conference on Computer Supported Education
490
From a pedagogical point of view, young
researchers should be able to learn both from their
own research project and from their participation in
real research projects with a role of novice
researchers (Class, Schneider, & Al, 2017; Ross &
Call-Cummings, 2020). The latter should enable them
to establish a critical and productive distance with the
project and research processes by being accountable
for only a small share. Regarding competences,
young researchers should be able to choose courses
that fits their needs or their potential to learn and that
are aligned with their existing competences. To do so,
they must demonstrate autonomous self-evaluation
skills and be prepared to act in a learning
environment ruled by principles of heutagogy
(Blaschke & Hase, 2015). To help them in this
endeavour, competence frameworks could guide
them. For the time being, the one specifically aimed
at young researchers in education (Van der Maren et
al., 2019) or the one for digital skills (Groupe-de-
recherche-interuniversitaire-sur-l’intégration-
pédagogique-des-technologies, 2019) represent a first
step.
Technologically speaking, the open learning
environment should offer all components of open
education – from open admission to open credentials
–, backed with robust infrastructure like blockchain.
It should also enable scientific virtual mobility with
support for language issues. In addition, it should be
forward looking, i.e. integrating supportive artificial
intelligence features concerning research, data
processing for instance.
Tutoring wise, local and contextual support
should be thoughtfully articulated with international
tutoring. This tutoring design transposes the dual
model of Swiss vocational training (Wettstein,
Schmid, & Gonon, 2017) while also taking it a step
further. Local tutoring is needed because of
contextual challenges that can best be tackled by local
experts. International expertise can help to address
remaining issues (e.g. methodological, strategical,
communication) and offer support in a cognitive
apprenticeship approach for instance (Collins &
Kapur, 2014). This form of dual tutoring could
contribute to educating a generation of “intelligently
internationalised researchers” (de Gayardon, 2019).
In terms of a viable economic model for open
education, it has not been found yet but may rest on a
sharing economy perspective (Schor & Cansoy,
2019). Assets available and possibly not used to their
full potential are various. In terms of human
resources, tutoring among PhD students at different
advancement stages is not common practice. In the
perspective of social learning, setting up pools of PhD
students organised according to communities of
practice, in turn organised in landscapes, could
represent a way forward (Wenger-Trayner, Fenton-
O'Creevy, Hutchinson, Kubiak, & Wenger-Trayner,
2015). Networking approaches (Goodyear, 2019) for
research education could contribute to the building of
a common scientific ground (Dillenbourg & Traum,
2006) in the reality of open education practices
(Cronin, 2017). Developing open technological
environments that support researchers represent
another avenue. We think for instance of electronic
laboratory notebook systems with integrated data
processing and blended with social features. Of
course, these environments should comply with legal
regulations in terms of data protection.
This consideration leads us to the last dimension
of our model, namely institutional policies and
international regulations. These should support both
avenues currently under investigation within the
domain of open education. First, they should
empower individuals and/or groups within existing
structures. Second, they should transform existing
structures in order to achieve equity (Cronin, 2019,
2020) and a form of epistemic justice (Kidd, Medina,
& Pohlhaus, 2017).
To synthesise (Figure 1), our model for an
international learning environment in research
education addresses pedagogical and technological
issues and is articulated to viable and fair, economic
and institutional surroundings.

4 TO CONCLUDE
Infrastructure wise, collapse and/or ICT for
development computing may show sustainable ways
forward (Tomlinson, Silberman, Patterson, Pan, &
Blevis, 2012).
We interpret sustainable development goal 4,
which is about “ensur[ing] inclusive and equitable
quality education and promot[ing] lifelong learning
opportunities for all” (UnitedNations, 2019), broadly.
We believe that young researchers, by integrating
international networks, will be better equipped to
address educational challenges of our present and
future. Early integration in international research
communities and early acquaintance with
international research method standards should be
globally beneficial. The confrontation with new
challenges should boost collaborative, creative and
sustainable solutions that should in turn be beneficial
for education in a globalised world. Early integration
of international scientific networks should also be
beneficial to advance the difficult question of
research funding (Beaudry, Mouton, & Prozesky,
2018; Currie-Alder, Arvanitis, & Hanafi, 2018).
Finally, we believe that this model could
contribute to setting up an open learning and teaching
environment in which actors would be aware of their
worldwide inter-connectedness, responsible, engaged
and could exercise agency.
