Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The Education and Socio-Economic Research Institute of the University of Seychelles has officially revived a long tradition, namely the weekly research seminars, to mark the university\u2019s 15th anniversary.<\/p>\n

The interdisciplinary research seminars was relaunched yesterday at the Anse Royale campus where guests listened to a one-and-a-half-hour session on \u2018Practise-based Enquiry\u2019 presented by the dean of the faculty of business and sustainable development, Dr Michael Hall.<\/p>\n

The aim of interdisciplinary research seminar is to bring together a group of people from across the university to gain a deeper understanding of interdisciplinary research.<\/p>\n

In her official speech, University of Seychelles (UniSey) vice-chancellor Joe\u0308lle Perreau described it as an important day for the university. \u201cThose who remember, we used to have this years back. At that time, we had one research institute that combined creole and education,\u201d said Ms Perreau.<\/p>\n

Ms Perreau added that the relaunch means that effective now, every Wednesday afternoon will be dedicated to a research presentation either by the institute or anyone internally at the university.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to invite and re-invite our Seychellois researchers or anybody else to come and present. We would like this to be a national Wednesday afternoon seminar research opportunity,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Although it may start on the UniSey campus, it can eventually expand to other external areas, but the important part is to keep it as a routine, said Ms Perreau.<\/p>\n

The research seminar features on the new UniSey calendar approved by senate, and it will be managed by the research and innovation committee.<\/p>\n

Ms Perreau described it \u201cas an important day for higher education in Seychelles,\u201d stating that there is a lot of research being done but the lack of focus on them means there is not enough people talking about them.<\/p>\n

The Wednesday sessions will also be recorded and uploaded to the university\u2019s social media accounts. \u201cI really hope this will become popular, famous and respected at the highest standard possible,\u201d noted Ms Perreau.<\/p>\n

In the first presentation yesterday on \u2018Practise-based Enquiry\u2019, Dr Hall explored some of the most pertinent themes, including human beings, their traits and multiple identities.<\/p>\n

He noted that the concept of \u2018Practise-based Enquiry\u2019 came about during his PHD studies a few years back, where he was particularly interested in what teachers and students go through within a two-year period.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happens to them? What makes them become students and educators?\u201d<\/p>\n

As a researcher, he followed 45 students and teachers around and observed their behaviour as well as tried to live the life of a new student and\/or teacher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese student-teachers were different. Some were bricklayers, construction workers, electricians and a whole range of different professions. We had one platform, one way of training teachers, and what we concluded at the end of it is that those teaching academic subjects, needed a different approach to those who were teaching vocational subjects,\u201d explained Dr Hall.<\/p>\n

The issue with a practise-based enquiry approach is that sometimes the concept of ethnography is dumped. \u201cThe problem with observation and this type of research stems from perception.\u201d<\/p>\n
