Abstract
This study explores students' experiences of learning research methodology subject in a series of interactive tutorials. Students of English at Batna 2 University were taught research methodology subject through interactive tutorials. In order to find about students' development in research knowledge and skills, they were asked to write research journals naturally describing their journey of learning about scientific research. In addition, one-on-one semi- structured interviews with (N=15) students were also conducted to gather more data in order to clarify what the research journals ambiguously reported about research knowledge retention and skills development. A content analysis of these two instruments revealed that students appreciated the interactive tutorials way of teaching as they have appraised each tutorial in their journals. Being able to identify researchable problems, writing good research questions, identifying variables and arriving at logical hypotheses demonstrate also research knowledge growth and skills attainment.
