In the DRC: teacher-researchersIII. Our extremely meagre financial resources forced us to reduce the number of university researchers we interviewed. The chosen analyzer is the University of Kinshasa. The limited sample of 38 respondents includes 31 teachers and researchers, 12 of whom are doctoral students; the other 7 come from the university's IT, library and publishing departments. Some of these actors are at the same time managers of structures and teacher-researchers. To gather information, we opted for a survey method based on individual interviewsIn effect, by forcing the respondent to co-construct a discourse in situ with the interviewer, the interview exchange is the production of a social word (Blanchet, Gotman, 1992: 9) about one's own practicesVII.
