This document discusses interdisciplinary research and education. It defines interdisciplinarity as different specialists from two or more fields working together towards common goals. True interdisciplinarity occurs when researchers modify their approaches to better address a problem. The document discusses barriers to interdisciplinary work, including differences between disciplines in ways of knowing and working, and incentives within academic institutions that are organized by traditional departments. It recommends students seek interdisciplinary experiences, and that researchers immerse themselves in other collaborating disciplines to overcome barriers to interdisciplinary research.
This document discusses what it means to be an open scholar. It begins by outlining traditional models of journal publishing and then discusses open access journals and mandates from funding agencies that require research to be openly accessible. It explains that open access expands access to research for academics and researchers around the world. It provides examples of how the public is interested in accessing scholarly research, such as through Wikipedia. The document argues that being an open scholar improves research quality and increases opportunities through greater access and connections. It advises open scholars to put unfinished work online, make their work easily findable, and consider organizing research in non-traditional ways beyond individual papers.
This document outlines 51 suggested functions for dissertation advisors to help doctoral students complete their dissertations successfully.

Walk down the hall in any building on your campus where social and behavioral science professors have their offices in such departments as psychology, education, nursing, sociology, and human development. Do you see any bearded, disheveled, white-coated men wearing rumpled pants and smoking pipes, hunched over their computers and mumbling to themselves? How about disheveled, white-coated women wearing rumpled skirts, smoking pipes, hunched over their computers, and mumbling to themselves?
Researchers hard at work? No. Stereotypes of what scientists look like and do? Yes. What you are more likely to see in the halls of your classroom building or in your adviser’s office are men and women of all ages who are hard at work. They are committed to finding the answer to just another piece of the great puzzle that helps us understand human behavior a little better than the previous generation of scientists.
Like everyone else, these people go to work in the morning, but unlike many others, these researchers have a passion for understanding what they study and for coming as close as possible to finding the “truth.” Although these truths can be elusive and sometimes even unobtainable, researchers work toward discovering them for the satisfaction of answering important questions and then using this new information to help others. Early intervention programs, treatments of psychopathology, new curricula, conflict resolution techniques, effective drug treatment programs, and even changes in policy and law have resulted from evidence collected by researchers.

The document discusses the emerging use of digital technologies and social media within higher education. It explores how universities are using platforms like social media to enhance their reputation and engage with current and former students. While adoption of these tools is still low among researchers, younger doctoral students are more open to using technologies that can aid their work, like social media for collaboration. The document also examines how academics are using blogs for different purposes, from documenting their research journey to communicating ideas and debates. It reflects on tensions around marketing versus research-driven uses of these platforms and changing definitions of scholarly "publishing".
This document is an article from the Doctoral Forum journal that discusses developing and sustaining school reform to create systems of thinkers. It outlines the GREAT MINDS model, which stands for 10 mental habits or intellectual behaviors that are important for developing critical thinkers: Get up and move, Reason it out, Enjoy learning, Apply knowledge to real world situations, Teacher models thinking, Metacognition, Inquiry, New knowledge, Differentiate, Systematic reflection. The article argues that developing these mental habits in students and teachers through reform efforts can help education systems move away from just teaching basic content toward creating self-sufficient lifelong learners.

#ILTA141 Large and small group teaching with Chrissi Nerantzi and Haleh MoravejChrissi Nerantzi
This document discusses strategies for managing large and small group teaching. It provides an overview of three main theories of teaching in higher education: teaching as telling, teaching as organizing student activity, and teaching as making learning possible. The document then discusses benefits and challenges of large and small group teaching. Practical tips are provided for managing the physical environment, grouping students, and creating a short "nano session" teaching demonstration. References on effective teaching practices are also included.
This document discusses exploratory research and provides guidance on conducting it. It summarizes Boyer's model of scholarship and Dewey's theory of evidence-based learning. It then outlines four methods for exploratory research: focus groups, literature reviews, expert surveys, and open-ended questions. The document notes that exploratory research does not provide conclusive evidence but helps define problems and can lead to further research. It also discusses qualitative vs. quantitative research and provides examples of exploratory research techniques like pilot studies, case studies, and focus group interviews.
What every teacher should know about cognitive scienceStephanie Chasteen
This document discusses a talk given by Dr. Stephanie Chasteen on cognitive research and how it relates to teaching. The talk covered 6 major points: 1) What makes an expert thinker, 2) The importance of motivation, 3) The need to actively engage students, 4) How prior knowledge affects learning, 5) Memory limitations, and 6) Tips from expert tutors on reducing cognitive load. The talk emphasized that learning requires active construction of understanding and highlighted strategies like using students' prior knowledge and providing timely feedback to improve student learning.
This document discusses exploratory research methods and their purpose in research. It summarizes Boyer's model of scholarship and Dewey's theory of evidence-based learning. The document then outlines various exploratory research methods including focus groups, literature reviews, surveys, interviews, pilot studies, case studies, and qualitative vs. quantitative research designs. The goal of exploratory research is to initially clarify and define a problem without providing conclusive evidence, with the expectation that further research will be conducted.
This doctoral thesis explores the perspectives and aspirations of young disabled people preparing to leave their segregated special school. The researcher conducted a qualitative study involving discussion sessions at the school to learn about the students' views on advocacy, transition, voice, and other topics. The researcher took an ethnographic and auto-ethnographic approach, incorporating their own experiences as a person with disabilities. A key focus was allowing the students' voices to be heard. The thesis examines issues of inclusion, segregation, models of disability, transition, and the role of the researcher in emancipatory disability research.
Mentorship mismatches between graduate students and their advisers can negatively impact students' careers, so the document recommends seeking additional mentors inside and outside one's institution to provide guidance on scientific and career development goals.
