Answer each of the questions below. 1 page for each question. Use the provided readings and cite(using APA) each reading at least once per question.
Question 1:
This week’s readings (Bray & Major; Wells et. al.) focus on the field of higher education and student affairs–a bit of a necessary thing, since this is a higher ed class. Are you aware of similar debates about journal status, research methods, and research-to-practice in TRIO Student Support Services? If so, what are some articles or resources about them? If not, do you think there are similar issues in TRIO Student Support Services? What are the implications for you as practitioner-scholars?
Question 2:
Juxtapose Week 1’s readings(Hatfield & Wise; Kupo; Reason and Kimball) about practitioner-scholarship and this week’s readings about journal status and research methods for higher education research. What are the implications of this week’s readings for practitioner-scholars? What are your takeaways (if any) about who does higher education research and why?
