Please know you can count on me. I’m going to be ready to hit the ground running on July 1st @kingsprincipal greets the community. He’ll be here this morning and again at 2pm. “I’m absolutely humbled by the excitement I feel in the room.” @univcan@CatholicHighrEd@WesternU
@cheyennefernley 10% off tuition is not significant for a student, but for a university it means 10% less finding, therefore staff layoffs, diminishing quality in education, less jobs, etc. This affects us all directly.
@Bakers_Thoughts My favourite quote on leadership is by the Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu, "A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves." https://t.co/b004rdIFIF
To my #9496edresearch group:
Congratulations on an incredible semester of learning about ed research. You are an amazing group of professionals working to improve the human condition. Thank you for a wonderful semester. Happy holidays and take care of yourself.
What would happen if tenured professors who are currently pressured to constantly publish research would be encouraged instead to make at least some impact in their communities yearly through action research? #actionresearch#bigquestion#9496edresearch
Action research is the closest thing to activism in academic research. Both are ACTive in bringing about social and political change. #9496edresearch#actionresearch
Coding and building themes from helps us organize qualitative data we encounter on a daily basis to see the big picture that we would be blind to otherwise. #9496edresearch#qualresearch#biglearn
Given all the sophisticated algorithms and artificial intelligence we now have in this digital age, is it possible to quantify all qualitative data? #9496edresearch#qualresearch

How could we present qualitative research that is accessible and engaging for the people who need it the most? Would it be appropriate to make short 2 min. films on YouTube to summarize the results of qualitative research to spread the knowledge? #9496edresearch#qualresearch
Qualitative studies add quality to the sciences by humanizing the sciences. We are not just numbers; we are complex, intricate beings full of stories, emotions, thoughts, feelings, and individual differences. #qualresearch#9496edresearch
True experiments are the gold standard for conducting research that controls as many variables as possible so that we can identify the outcome of any given treatment as best as possible. #9496edresearch#quantresearch
Are the current standards for quantitative research methods foolproof from desired biased results? For example if a pharmaceutical company wants to prove that their products work is it easy to manipulate one of the many steps to get desired results? #9496edresearch#quantresearch
