The Office of Educational Research (OER) has compiled the results of the 2016 Faculty Survey. We are pleased to accept several ideas on how to improve our services.
The following articles in this April issue of the Research Bulletin are in response to the survey.
Thank you to those of you who took the time to respond and offer helpful suggestions.
In the 2016 Faculty Survey, the faculty expressed an interest in receiving more professional development opportunities offered through the OER. We are currently seeking ideas about the types of programs to feature.
Please send an email to the OER at research@coe.ufl.edu with a list of topics and/or suggestions for us to consider.
We will do our best to provide a variety of dates and times so that the maximum number of faculty can attend.
In an effort to improve communication about the types of research and activities performed by each faculty member, the OER will launch a new Faculty Spotlight feature section in the Research Bulletin newsletter.
The Faculty Spotlight will highlight the research and accomplishments of two faculty members each month beginning with junior faculty.
Watch for the Faculty Spotlight coming next month in the May Research Bulletin.
OER actively works to build cross-departmental and cross-university interdisciplinary research teams and strategic partnerships that promote the scholarly interests of COE faculty.
If you are interested in developing collaborative efforts with other colleagues, please contact Thomasenia Adams at tla@coe.ufl.edu, 273-4116, or Ana Puig at anapuig@coe.ufl.edu, 273-4121.
Some examples of past collaborations sponsored by the OER include the Brown Bag Research Series, guest lectures, and collaborative meetings such as the following:

Some faculty have conveyed the need for services and consultation in the area of research methodology such as qualitative and quantitative analyses.
If you are in need of these services and/or consultation, please contact Thomasenia Adams at tla@coe.ufl.edu, 273-4116, or Ana Puig at anapuig@coe.ufl.edu, 273-4121.
We are considering ways to offer research methodology services and consultation such as providing high-level doctoral students to perform qualitative and quantitative analyses.
