In doctoral programs for educational practitioners, students benefit from academic training that diagnoses their research backgrounds and helps them gain highly developed skills to question, inquire, and write problems of practice for dissertations. Using the Research Skill Development (RSD) framework, faculty developed a research and writing course that used learning scaffolds for progression from instructor-directed to student-directed learning. Reviews of participant reflections, student mid and end-course surveys, student work, and online discussions indicated that the RSD framework was valuable for guiding curriculum and giving students skills and habits of mind necessary to undertake advanced research. The goal of this presentation is to present a firsthand account of using the framework for teaching researcher-practitioners.
