Hinweis der Redaktion
- Scholar-practitioners generate new knowledge to improve practice, yet how they prioritize and go about their work varies with where they are on this scholar-practitioner continuum (Wasserman & Kram, 2009). The challenge with this work is there is VERY LITTLE TIME professionals in higher ed have to do scholarly work. When you are working in an educational service role for a 12-month contract, it is a challenge to move through the research process. Wasserman and Kram (2009) observed how competencies, needs, and values align with the competing roles of the scholar-practitioner to match either the work or research interests. Scholarly habits and the writing process requires deep concentration and focus on thinking critically to endure through a research project -- from the study design, methodological planning, recruitment of participants, to publication and dissemination of findings.
- We discussed the steps from submission preparation, through correspondence, and all the way to publication, including: How to get involved in peer review and the scholarly writing process Understanding Academic Journal Types: A, B, & C Level Considering the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and Scopus the journal levels Using Google Scholar Citations & being critical with Google Scholar Filtering with their own library databases Understanding the scholarly publication process Corresponding with editors & responding to peer-review Key reason WHY papers get rejected from journals Understanding how to conduct a systematic literature review for a research paper
- Academic vs. Practitioner Conferences. From the book by Hatfield and Wise (2015), chapter three talks about presenting at professional conferences; however, none of the associations shared offer any published conference proceeding for presentations shared and are not the same as submitting a paper or academic poster for another association that is more scholarly in nature. I think Hatfield and Wise (2015) offer a decent introduction to scholarly writing for the novice student affairs professional -- but I think it is lacking in a few areas (as detailed in the podcast and notes below). If you are interested, feel free to read this book review (Delgado & McGill, 2016) and listen to our thoughts via the podcast here:
- Not expected of positions and not valued - undervalued and underutilized research skills; some of these skills may have been minimal based on training, education, experience, etc. as it is not required in administrative positions
- The literature review is a complex problem
- Not enough reading - that is, not as knowledgeable of current research in (and out of) the field, theories, and evidence-based practices from academic outlets
- Be consistent with your tagging strategy (use pick lists if possible) Let me show you how it works in my Endnote database.... (demonstrate)
- Second-class citizen syndrome - some might not have a terminal degree (Ph.D., Ed.D., etc.) or if they do, little academic scholarship has been completed beyond their dissertation work; also feel on a different level of the faculty at their institution (and often treated that way). Stop Calling It the Dark Side We need to stop emphasizing the things that divide the administration from the faculty and vice versa, argues Elizabeth A. Lehfeldt. https://www.insidehighered.com/advice/2017/06/14/closing-divide-between-faculty-and-administrators-essay
- Inadequate academic preparation - research, evaluation and assessment training from each graduate program varies and many question skills and competency for research and publishing
- Silos on campus - little interaction between departments, divisions, functions, and academic departments exist although we are trying to support the whole student.
- Lack of motivation - when was the last time you saw "scholarship and research" in a practitioner's job description or expectation to participate in scholarly conferences and publishing?
- We just wish we saw more of this at practitioner conferences. Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA) also held their annual conference at the same convention center in San Antonio, TX back in March. Both Jeff and I were there, and we attended a session on publishing in the NASPA journals from this association [Sadly the new Technology in Higher Education: Emerging Practice was not represented in this session this year.] It’s not as though sessions at Student Affairs or Practitioner conferences do have a poster session, and I have seen “Research Papers” presented at ACPA Convention and NACADA has offered Research Symposiums at regional conferences. The conferences mentioned in Chapter 3 of Hatfield and Wise’s (2015) book: ACPA, NACA, NACADA, NASPA, ACUHO-I, NODA, & NIRSA
