Abstract	Strategies for becoming global in orientation are now embedded in the policies and practices of most universities in Australia. Such policies, if implemented effectively, contribute to the university's international profile. With this thrust come the implementation of so-called "transnational" programs--that is, the offering of a university program in another country tailored to meet the cultural needs of a specific group of students yet maintain the integrity and content offered on campus. This paper discusses some of the challenges in assisting early childhood students undertaking a BEd in early childhood education in Singapore. Specifically, the focus of undertaking research is examined, including the topics selected, research paradigms that frame the research and the cultural sensitivity needed in such a context.
