Popis: The need to encourage staff in departments of education in South African universities to increase their research output has become a priority given the pressing educational needs within the country, and demands for university departments to be more accountable in a context of ever diminishing financial resources. This paper examines a strategy of collaborative research which was aimed at regenerating a culture of research within a university department of education, as well as meeting staff development needs. In doing so, the paper also addresses what the authors regard as a major shortcoming in much published research, namely, that of failing to reveal to experienced researchers and novitiates alike much of the ‘off-stage˚s detail, by presenting the ‘on-stage˚s performance only. Particular attention, therefore, is paid to issues involved in undertaking research, in this case collaboratively, and to the dynamics of theorising and writing up such research.
