Convening participants CID Summer 2005 Convening: Developing Researchers and Scholars Convening Report This Snapshot presents information following the August 2005 convening at the Carnegie Foundation. This convening emphasized strategies various departments and disciplines use to help graduate students develop as effective researchers and scholars. We call the theory and practice of developing researchers and scholars the "pedagogy of research." This notion includes: all of the specific techniques, skills and habits of mind a researcher ought to know and exhibit; how one teaches a student these techniques, skills and habits of mind; how a student learns them; and in what settings and with whom the student best learns. We have selected four specific interrelated topics; they are some of the skills and habits of mind that a researcher and scholar ought to develop during graduate school, regardless of discipline. We are interested both in tried-and-true strategies and innovations that are being explored as part of the CID Participant List

Poster session Convening Agenda and Advance Assignments To prepare for the convening each campus team (one faculty member and one graduate student, representing the leadership team from the department) had three homework assignments: 1. Interview the the campus team from another department that was coming to the convening. The interview partner was assigned. 2. Prepare a presentation, using the keep tool, on one of four topics. Each campus team could indicate which topics they preferred to present, and final assignments were made to balance the presentations. 3. Prepare a poster summarizing the department's work for the CID.

Hanging on George's every word in the Gardner Convening Room Handouts During the convening participants were asked to complete "developmental trajectory worksheets." Analyzing how students grow and learn as teachers during their graduate program. This activity was preceded by two presentations, one of which incorporated what participants learned from their pre-convening interviews. The other presentation, introduced the idea of developmental trajectories. Whats my theory? session Presentation by Carnegie staff about the development of researchers. Developmental trajectories presentation for research Community worksheets Developmental trajectory "placemat." Data analysis session Powerpoint presentation of graphs discussed in small groups.
