Creation of a Cohort of Educational Research Practitioners: The Th!Nk Researchers Program
Maria T. Gallardo-Williams; Lisa D. Parks; Susan Carson
Journal of Faculty Development, v35 n2 p10-16 2021
The TH!NK Program is an initiative designed to cultivate students' higher order skills in critical and creative thinking at North Carolina State University. Faculty across the university participate in the TH!NK Faculty Development Institute every year and bring the focus on critical and creative thinking to their courses across diverse disciplines. As a result of this reflective practice of teaching, some of the instructors involved in the process become interested in educational research. In this manuscript, we describe the creation of a program designed to foster this interest as a tool for faculty development. Many of the faculty that participated in this new program did not have prior experience with publishing or presenting their scholarship of teaching and learning. A series of workshops for faculty was offered, as well as individual mentorship and financial support to attend a disciplinary conference. We describe the outcomes of the first cohort.
