Abstract

In carrying out research tasks, universities need research groups that function in a sustainable manner. In many cases, research group members change frequently, to a large extent due to incoming and outgoing students. This study aims to describe a model of forming a small research group (4-6 lecturers, 3-6 full-time students), which has been sustainable for 13 years. The focus of this research is the process that takes place in the last 4 years, with communications mainly via online and social media, which is the norm during the covid-19 pandemic. The study was conducted using a participatory ethnographic approach. The participants were four lecturers and six students. The dynamic process in the research group could be explained by the theory of the small research group as a complex system (Arrow, McGrath, and Berdahl, 2000). The results of the study showed that the creation process starts from initiation and induction, trust building, natural selection, heedful interrelating, and mindfulness comprehension with collective identity. Through these processes the group becomes able to achieve productive sustainable research outcomes. This study contributes a model of the creation of a sustainable research group.
