TWO PERSPECTIVES ON CARING RESEARCH: RESEARCH ON WELL-BEING AND RESEARCHER WELL-BEING
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2015, Vol 66, Issue 8
Abstract
Caring research is a new concept that is discussed and defned from two supplementary perspectives: (1) as research aiming at promoting well-being and (2) as a caring research community that cares for the researcher well-being and reciprocal relationships between colleagues and between supervisors and students. These dimensions are discussed in the light of the latest fndings and theories of positive psychology as well as based on the authors’ studies in the feld. The caring research ideology contributes a comprehensive viewpoint to the world of academic research because it also pays attention to the actual research process within the research community. This well-being focused approach can serve as a means to flourish within the ever-increasing demands of the academic world.
