College of Education offers research training program for faculty, professionals
 Starting this fall, the College of
Education will offer a professional development series designed to help faculty
and other professionals hone their researching skills.
The Advanced Training Program in
Education Research Methods and Design will feature speakers from different
fields of academic study who will focus on research practices and analysis. The
program will take an in-depth approach to professional development with weekly
sessions throughout the fall semester.
"This is unique in that we're
fostering professional development over time and addressing research topics
thoroughly," said Bryan Williams, COE associate dean of research and
scholarship and the program's creator. "We want to link faculty with experts in
the field and to create a cohort of researchers who can work together and spark
ideas that may not have come up without that collaboration."
More specifically, the weekly
sessions will address data documentation and summarization, emerging methods in
educational research and data representation. Participants will be encouraged
to bring in their own data to use during the sessions and take part in a
culminating research summit at the end of the program.
The program is free for all
Georgia State University faculty and open to professionals outside of the
university for a fee. Participants must register online by Aug. 2.
