Engaging Students in Research: The Use of Professional Dialogue
Graduate students frequently have difficulty defining, developing, and resolving research problems in a manner consistent with the agricultural economics community. We report on a seminar that focuses on professional dialogue to assist graduate students to integrate subject matter courses into independent research proposals. Professional dialogue involves developing arguments to explain and resolve questions where the explanations are supported by warranted evidence and appropriately qualified. The premise of the seminar is that more active problem solvers are developed using professional dialogue to sharpen critical thinking and writing skills. Copyright 2003, Oxford University Press.
