Behind the Scenes Series: How Education Scholarship Gets Made

Have you ever read an academic article and thought to yourself: “Wow, these people are smart. I could never execute a research project and write a paper like this.”? If the answer is yes, then join the club. As education scientists, teachers, and health professionals, we often only see the final product of an educational scholarship/research project, which is typically a polished paper. What we fail to see, however, is all the messy, not-so-glamorous work that goes on behind the scenes – how scholars come up with and develop their initial ideas, how they build their research team, find study measures, deal with IRB, conduct the actual study, and write-up their work. The purpose of this grand round series to give participants a peek behind the scenes and help them develop the knowledge and motivation to become involved in education scholarship.

Scene 4: Getting Your Ideas Down on Paper so that Someone will Want to Read Them

June 3, 2021 Noon to 1 p.m.

Hosted by UCSF – Register here

Faculty getting started in education “know” they have to write, but maybe are less clear on why and how. Two faculty getting started in this field will present their quandaries and tensions about writing. They will get tips from experienced educational researchers particularly about translating your good ideas into something fit for dissemination. This includes understanding each part of a manuscript, how to work with your team and how to set realistic expectations for themselves. The session is designed as a conversation addressing questions from the audience and also using the audience to crowd-source additional good ideas.

During this session, participants will:

  • Observe interviews between education research scholars about the “tricks of the trade.”
  • Participate in a facilitated chat to address questions

At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  • Select strategies to facilitate writing manuscripts fit for dissemination.
  • Identify tenets of authorship
