Mission and Vision of the SRC Committee
By Peter Serdyukov, Ph D, Interim Dean, Ken Fawson, and Ron Germaine, Ed D.
The SRC was convened as a standing committee of the School of Education by Interim Dean Fawson to promote a culture of scholarship and research within the School. The Committee's quest is to create an environment in which faculty can share their scholarship, and expand and enhance their research. Communicating about faculty scholarship and encouraging collaboration reflects four of the five elements of the School's Conceptual Framework, STARS. It provides evidence of the practice of Scholarship, Teamwork with colleagues and other professionals, Active Reflection on our practice, and Modeling Standards of exemplary practice.
We look forward to your continued contributions!
Next Call for Submissions August 1, 2013

Featured Faculty Author (s) Dr. Terry Bustillos & Dr. Norman Steinaker (Former Adjunct)
A Handbook for Writing Formal Papers: From Concept to Conclusion, Fifth Edition
Steinaker, N. W. and Bustillos, T. A. (2011). A Handbook for Writing Formal Papers: from Concept to Conclusion, Fifth Edition, Boston, MA: Pearson Custom Publishing.
|
A Handbook for Writing Formal Papers takes the student through the writing process step-by-step in language that is succinct and to the point. Consistent with APA format and style, the Handbook is appropriate for any graduate or undergraduate course in education or psychology requiring the development of a formal literature review or a research study. However, it has broader applications both within and beyond the academic setting, including in any business or organization requiring the preparation of reports, documents, and other pieces of formal writing.
|
Each step in the writing process is carefully and clearly explained beginning with a five-step sequence: define, describe, detail, discuss, and determine. Following this, each section of the paper is delineated, from the title page and the abstract to the bibliography and appendixes. The process of completing the formal paper or research study is addressed in a section on conventions of formal writing. Included in the text are checklists for writers and substantive ancillary material. Students who have used the Handbook have unanimously praised it for helping them organize, write, and complete their work. |
