Student Grades

Social work educators highlight the value of research skills, and students often resist. Millennial students seek social connection and relevance in their educational experiences. The results of a study designed to investigate whether engaging students in authentic research increases their research knowledge and skills are reported. Forty-eight undergraduate social work students in a research method class conducted a study of adolescents’ views on poverty. In addition, students worked in teams to conduct quantitative surveys on a poverty-related topic of their choice. Three types of data were collected to evaluate the research question: student grades, a midterm evaluation of the team aspect, and an end-of-course reflection. Students’ grades were high, their perceptions of the course at midterm were predominantly positive, and their final reflection showed that the large majority (86%) thought the course design helped them improve their research knowledge and skills.

Broad Understanding

This chapter was designed to provide readers a broad understanding of factors that should be considered when attempting to implement research in a practice environment. Common obstacles to conducting research in practice settings are discussed in this chapter and include administrative factors, work demands placed on practitioners, the availability of research knowledge and skills, and the research tradition of some professions. To address these, recommendations have been developed to remediate these barriers. These involve building support and demand for practice research by increasing its value to stakeholders, the development of and/or accessibility to research skills, and providing the infrastructure necessary to conduct practice research. The importance of including practitioners in the process of building research capacity is discussed. In order to increase the chances of success, capacity building must be collaborative. All activities should include representation from all employee groups that will either participate in the research process or be consumers of research.

Subject Of Cognition

The article presents the analysis of impact of research competence on the process of professional self-realization of practical physicians. The personal self-perception of physician from positioning of oneself as active subject of cognition, opened to new experience and ready for getting out of available scope of knowledge is considered as an indicator of availability and developness of research competence at the stage of post-graduate stage of profession genesis. The article presents a complex of qualities of subject needed to successful self-realization in profession in conditions of modern medicine. The questionnaire survey was applied to assess through physicians the process of receiving and application of experience of research activities in university and also of the course of professional self-realization. The questionnaire emphasized such research skills as scientific informational, methodological, theoretical, empirical, written speech and communicative speech ones. The testing was applied to compare self-rating of physicians in the area of research skills and real research knowledge and skills. The results testify an inadequate attention to development of research competence at pre- and post-graduation work stages of professional genesis. The cohort of young specialists is considered as a most perspective one for working in this direction in state structures.

Critical Situation

This paper addresses the perceptions and practices of doctorate candidates at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) toward its vision of devoting educational efforts for restoring the dynamic role of the Muslim Ummah in all fields of knowledge and intellectual discourse. It investigates to what extent they possess competent research skills and foster core values such as cooperation and trust. It utilizes the qualitative research approach, using thematic analysis of data collected by semi-structured interviews. The sample is composed of ten Ph.D candidates, coming from the Middle East and Asian countries who currently study at IIUM. They are all Muslims; four females and six males. Eight candidates are the international students and two are Malaysians. Purposive sampling was implemented to select the candidates who were still pursuing their Ph.D degree at the time of conducting the study. They all came from five different kulliyyah (faculties), with two from each kulliyyah. The study showed that the Ph.D candidates’ practices did not reflect the vision of IIUM. They lacked of competent research knowledge and skills as well as the core values represented by cooperation and mutual trust, which were clearly manifested in the IIUM’s vision. The implication of this current qualitative study may bring into the realization of the existing critical situation of the Muslim Ummah. The Maqasid al-Shariah may be seen as the practical formula for IIUM to restore the core educational system for Islamic revivalism and glory. Keywords: Doctorate Students (Ph.D), Research Knowledge and Skills, IIUM Vision, Cooperation, Mutual Trust, Maqasid al-Sharia. Abstrak Makalah ini membahas persepsi dan amalan calon pelajar kedoktoran di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) terhadap visinya untuk menumpukan usaha pendidikan bagi mengembalikan peranan dinamis umat Islam dalam semua bidang pengetahuan dan wacana intelektual. Ia mengkaji sejauh mana mereka mempunyai kemahiran penyelidikan dan keupayaan memupuk nilai-nilai teras seperti kerjasama dan kepercayaan. Makalah ini menggunakan pendekatan penyelidikan kualitatif, melalui analisis bertema dari data temu ramah separa berstruktur. Sampel terdiri daripada sepuluh calon Ph.D, yang berasal dari Timur Tengah dan negara Asia yang belajar di UIAM. Mereka semua beragama Islam; empat perempuan dan enam lelaki. Lapan calon merupakan pelajar antarabangsa dan dua daripadanya adalah pelajar Malaysia. Persampelan bertujuan untuk memilih calon yang masih dalam pengajian dalam peringkat Ph.D, ketika kajian dijalankan. Mereka semua berasal dari lima kulliyyah yang berbeza, di mana dua sampel dipilih dari kulliyyah yang sama. Kajian menunjukkan bahawa amalan calon Ph.D tidak mencerminkan visi UIAM. Adalah didapati bahawa mereka kurang mempunyai pengetahuan dan kemahiran penyelidikan yang kompeten serta kurang mepunyai nilai teras seperti kerjasama dan saling mempercayai. Implikasi kajian kualitatif ini dapat mewujudkan kesedaran keadaan kritikal umat Islam masakini. Maqasid al-Sharia mungkin merupakan formula praktikal yang boleh UIAM gunapakai untuk mengembalikan sistem pendidikan teras demi kebangkitan dan kegemilangan Islam. Kata kunci: Calon kedoktoran (Ph.D), Pengetahuan dan Kemahiran Penyelidikan, Visi UIAM, Kerjasama, Saling Mempercayai, Maqasid al-Sharia.

Faculty Status

As academic librarians with faculty status increasingly embrace research engagement as a core value and requirement, one of the little-studied questions is the extent to which they possess the requisite knowledge and skills to conduct high-quality research and scholarship and what further learning needs they might have within the organizational setting. This paper summarizes an institutional case study of the research knowledge of academic librarians employed at the University of Saskatchewan, encompassing their current research interests, experiences, competencies, environmental context, and learning needs. The goal was to develop a framework for additional educational activities and institutional supports that would enhance their knowledge and skills.
