I have been dreaming about doing PhD since 2011 when I completed MA in Educational Technology and TESOL. I am happy now, as I am going to start my PhD in September 2015 J.<\/p>\n<p>Before I embarked on my MA studies at The University of Manchester, I had completed a Master\u2019s Degree in Management in Education and Educational Policy at a Moscow university. I worked whilst being a part-time student, which I found both challenging and rewarding. After finishing the course, I applied for an MA in Educational Technology and TESOL at The University of Manchester, as I was interested in exploring in depth more modern and effective methods of teaching English. The Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program\u2019s scholarship, which I was awarded for my strong interest in teaching and research, provided me with funding for my studies.<\/p>\n<p>While doing my Master&#8217;s course at the University of Manchester, I began my research on teacher&#8217;s beliefs and their influence on technology enhanced learning.\u00a0 In my PhD research, I am going to investigate how cultural models influence teacher beliefs and what could trigger these beliefs in order to enhance integration of technology into teaching.\u00a0 I consider this topic important for the implementation of technology into teaching English in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>I am very excited about starting my PhD and really looking forward to meeting you all in Manchester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am Olga Dolganova, a teacher of English from Russia.
