| Abstract: | Traditional professional development (PD) often focuses solely on skills and knowledge, without attending to participants' sense of community. In this instrumental case study, we explore the impact of a community-building PD experience on an Emerging Discipline-Based Education Researcher's (EDBER's) sense of community. We center the experiences of one tenure-track faculty member, James (a pseudonym), who participated in a Professional Development Program's [name withheld for review] field school for EDBERs, an example of PD that intentionally attends to building community around research. We find that the PD experience contributed to building James' lasting of community in education research, and we call for more PD to shift away from being solely skills-focused to being community-focused and skill-focused. |
