AbstractThis study aimed at exploring Iranian B.A-level and M.A-level translators’ conceptions of research and investigating whether translators’ conceptions of research are different in terms of their education level. To this aim, a survey descriptive method was employed. Sample of the study included 60 M.A and B.A students of translation (30 males and 30 females) from different branches of Islamic Azad University. This selection was done based on convenience sampling. The data of this study were collected using Meyer, Shanahan and Laugksch’s (2007) questionnaire. Analysis of data was done using qualitative content analysis of the data. Results of data analysis showed that B.A-level and M.A-level translators have their own conceptions of research. Also, it was found that the participants’ conceptions of research were different in terms of their education level. In a more specific sense, M.A-level translators’ conceptions of research were more scientific and technical.Keywords: Conception; Research; Translator; Translation
