20 Student Affairs Quantitative Research Competency Assessment
Pre- & Post-test 73 items

21 Quantitative Knowledge
Pretest range: = 36 Posttest range: = 29 r = .58 M = 36.5 (SD = 10.1) M = 48 (SD = 9.5) A paired samples t-test demonstrated significant increase in quantitative knowledge from pre- to post-test t(10) = 4.25, p = .002. There is a large effect Cohen’s d = 1.285 Effect size corrected for between-subjects studies per Morris and DeShon (2002)

22 Student Affairs Quantitative Research Competency Perception
Pre- & Post-test 25 questions using 6-point Likert Scale Example:

23 Student Affairs Quantitative Research Competency Assessment

There is a large effect Cohen’s d = .823. - Effect size corrected for between-subjects studies per Morris and DeShon (2002)

24 Qualitative Research Method: 8 pre- and post-interviews

Uncomfortable with the “label” Imbalance; more Practitioner than Scholar “Not Smart Enough” Not Published Scholar Practitioner

29 Qualitative Research Findings: Scholar-Practitioner Identity-
Earning the “label” Using Research to Inform Practice (when needed) Doing Assessment Years of Experience

30 Qualitative Research Findings: Motives to Develop- Extrinsic
Workplace Priorities Need for Competency Increasing Student Affairs Credibility

31 Qualitative Research Findings: Motives to Develop- Intrinsic
Personal Mission, Sense of Calling “Search for Truth” and Scholarship Care for Students and Student Affairs “It makes us better”

32 Qualitative Research Findings: Barriers to Development- Institutional
Priorities Culture Lack of Support, Especially from Supervisor

33 Qualitative Research Findings: Barriers to Development- Individual
