Abstract
![CDATA[This research investigated the early stages of research as experienced by both students and staff The aim was to capture the complex clustering patterns of triggering factors associated with students' migration from a state of confusion to a state a/knowledge. A methodological model, Context-dependent Cluster Model (CDCM) has been derived from Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and complexity theory. CDCM was used to develop and interpret a conceptual model of the system at the micro level of the initial phase of the research process for students. A qualitative study was conducted and descriptions were gathered from individuals across three groups: new staff researchers and two distinct postgraduate student groups. Content analysis of the descriptions indicated that individuals in each group display multiple triggers that are context-dependent.]]
