COMMUNICATION HIGH- ET LOW-CONTEXT DANS LA METHODOLOGIE DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE
HIGH- AND LOW-CONTEXT COMMUNICATION IN THE METHODOLOGY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Summary/Abstract: Methodology of scientific research is a new discipline that recently integrated the higher education curriculum thus responding to the need of preparing the students from an early stage to the requirements of scientific research. Assuming that the discourse in this field should be primarily low-context (Hall, 1976) – since its main goal is a pedagogical one – this article presents a brief analysis from the perspective of high- and low-context communication of Méthodologie de la thèse et du mémoire, a book introducing French and francophone students to scientific research. The aim is to identify the possible interferences between the type of communication in the originating culture and the one specific to the scientific environment, as well as their consequences to the expected impact on the target audience.
