Blogs and Podcasts

 


I hope you’ve enjoyed the information I have been sharing related to research during my last 2 years as research coordinator, even if they are not relevant to you at this point in your journey. All of my posts are available on my IS Coordinator blog site (https://drlynnekennette.blogspot.com/ or http://www.drlynnekennette.ca/) for you to reference when you need to know the information.

As you prepare for summer, I thought I would suggest some scholarly and/or research-related podcasts and blogs.

Tips for Completing the REB Form for Secondary Use (Part 2 of 2)

  Last time, I began to go through the Secondary Use of Data Research Ethics Board form (which is on ICE: Teams – Academic – Research Services, Innovation and Entrepreneurship – Research Ethics Board, then click on “Related Forms” on the left hand side; or click here ). Remember that the secondary use of data form is only to be used when the data are already available either publicly (Statistics Canada) or privately (your previous semester students’ performance). This week, I’ll be reviewing the rest of the sections of the form, beginning with Section 4.0. In the first sub-section (4.1), you’ll explain your research question, why it’s important and what you think the outcome will be (if you have a hypothesis). Then, you’ll explain where the data came from (who the participants were) and the purpose for the original (primary) data collection.

Conferences!

  With things returning to pre-pandemic normalcy more and more, you may have taken some time to think about PD again. Although you may find an amazing conference in a location you’d love to visit, location should not be something you look for when making your initial list (though you may need to eliminate some amazing conferences if they’re too far away and will be too expensive to attend). So, what should you be looking for? I have some suggestions!   First, find some conferences that might be relevant to your professional development goals or teaching practice. Search for terms like “conference” and whatever your interests are (e.g., “teaching and learning”) and location (e.g., “Ontario” or “Canada”).   That should bring up at least a few conferences for you to consider. Or, search for specific conferences you have previously attended (and found valuable).   Then, determine if you’re planning to present something at the conference (e.g., sharing a teaching te...
