Professional Development and Resources
The purpose of this design team is to provide faculty development and support in the area of applied, pure/basic, and theoretical research in education and to manage Research Hub resources. This design team distributed a needs survey to CEP faculty to determine interests and needs related to professional development. In response to needs and interests, this design team partnered with CEP faculty to facilitate professional development workshops in fall 2021 and spring 2022. Workshops focused on (1) Developing and Sustaining a Research Collective; (2) How to Find the Right Places to Publish your Journal Articles; (3) Scales/Measures/Instruments Using SPSS to Derive Psychometric Properties of Reliability and Validity; (4) How to Obtain a Book Contract; and (5) Getting Started with Qualtrics. A total of 82 faculty from CEP and throughout UTRGV participated in these professional development workshops. The design team also began working on the CEP lending library and research hub space allocation and reservation system. In Fall 2022, this design team will make the Lending Library operational; finalize Research Hub space allocation; finalize the Research Hub webpage; and collaborate with Research Grants and Grants Support design team to design future professional development related to grant writing.
