MoreLong description:
Are you a graduate student in an applied psychology, mental health, or education program? Are you learning to apply your field's theories and methods in practice while anticipating conducting a final research or scholarly project? Or are you a faculty member advising, mentoring, and chairing dissertations or theses? This guide is for you.
Navigating the research process in an applied graduate program can be exciting but also daunting. For students, this book will guide you through the nuts and bolts of identifying research interests, developing a project topic, writing and managing a project, as well as the various interpersonal and academic skills necessary to successfully complete such a project.
Based on a well-recognized national competency model developed by the National Council of Schools of Professional Psychology (NCSPP), this guide will teach you the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to navigate research at three stages of graduate school: familiarizing yourself with research and scholarly work, developing a proposal and managing a project, and finishing your final project and beyond. It will also advise on ways you can foster successful mentoring relationships and work collaboratively in applied settings.
Worksheets, visual aids, and checklists are provided throughout to highlight factors to consider at each stage and help you plan work and time, self-evaluating and improving research, and troubleshooting obstacles. Student examples are included to illustrate real experiences of conducting research in an applied program.
Using this book throughout graduate school will help you experience your final project as an exciting capstone to your academic career. Recommendations for how faculty can use this guide in research related courses, advising, and mentoring are also provided.
An indispensable resource, Navigating Research in an Applied Graduate Program addresses the concern often foremost in graduate students' minds-how to actually accomplish a dissertation or thesis! Going far beyond research methods and writing, a comprehensive framework is outlined for tackling each aspect of the project. From choosing a research focus to developing the required mindset, skills, and habits, this text will fully equip you to successfully reach the finish line."
