Digital Literacies and Ubuntu Research Methodology in the COVID-19 Context: A Translanguaging Approach in E-Supervision Sessions With Ph.D. Students
Abstract
Oneness ideologies in teaching have lead to parochial pedagogy and methodology in learning institutions worldwide. In spite of the current transitions from physical contact between supervisors and students in many African universities, little is known about the effectiveness of using Zoom as a digital platform for supervision retreats. This chapter documents 10 students' multiple voices on their digital experiences in their Ph.D. research literacy programme organized by a south African university on Multilingual Education and Literacies over a three-month period. Students' oral narratives through interviews and their metacognitive reflections reveal that group supervision was effective . Digital platforms have enabled supervision to unveil best methodological practices in post-colonial contexts. While detailing the pillars of ubuntu research methodology, the chapter also disrupts the orthodox and colonizing research discourses based on one-oneness ideology. In the end, we make recommendations for practice and further research are highlighted.
