 * A Mixed-Methods Study of Shifts in Classroom Practice Related to Online Professional Development Courses** (very useful examples of how to integrate survey data with classroom observations for individual teacher cases**,** then cross-case analysis with areas of convergence & divergence, and very useful appendices with selected scales and observations/interview protocols, AND a codebook)

Activity: Skim to highlight specific strengths

Comprehensive Exams: Current and Possible New Formats

1. **Writing for Publication: The Review and Reply Process**

Reviewer feedback

Other reviews: > > >
 * A LONG, multi-phase review process, but success in the end! 18 months of reviews through four phases, and then wait 1 year from acceptance to publication!
 * Flat out rejection from JEP

2. Share example of two page research project summary

2. Questions on Mixed Methods designs?

OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL READINGS:

An article written by Anthony Onweuegbuzie, a leading scholar in Mixed Methods, titled **Putting the MIXED back into quantitative and qualitative research in educational research and beyond: Moving toward the radical middle**


 * A Mixed-Methods Study of Shifts in Classroom Practice Related to Online Professional Development Courses** (very useful examples of how to integrate survey data with classroom observations for individual teacher cases**,** then cross-case analysis with areas of convergence & divergence, and very useful appendices with selected scales and observations/interview protocols, AND a codebook)

3. Mixed Methods designs in your own collection?

4. Drafting Roadmap for your Research Design Proposal

5. [|Fifteen Guidelines for Publishing in Peer-Reviewed Education Journals](Sanacore & Alvermann) || WORK ON PROPOSAL - PLEASE BRING COMPLETED DRAFT TO NEXT CLASS. ALL SECTIONS SHOULD HAVE SOME INFORMATION (full narrative or bulleted outline of key ideas, phrases in tables). PRINT OUT YOUR DRAFT for someone else to read and give feedback.

It is critical that you have identified all data sources and relevant constructs you will measure/observe, and include a table that links your research questions, data sources, and operationalized terms for relevant constructs, and analytical tool(s) for each question.


 * JUST EXTRA INFORMATION FROM LAST YEAR IF YOU ARE INTERESTED:**

Gutierrez, K. & Penuel, W. (2014). Relevance to practice as a criterion for rigor. Educational Researcher, 43(1), 19-23.

2014 LRA conference symposium proposal that grounds their papers in this idea. ||
 * Example of what a symposium proposal looks like
 * Notice how authors connect to theory and identify type of design/analysis
 * Ideas for making connections with colleagues to share your work in a new way
 * Consider role of discussant at a symposium
 * BRING your questions and reactions to next week's class.
