However, it appears only a small number of universities provide such professional development opportunities alongside academic programs, and even fewer do so online. There appears to be an assumption in higher education that students develop professional skills by virtue of learning through required academic tasks and having proximity to other students and faculty. Skeptics of online study raise questions about whether graduate students studying online can participate fully in such graduate communities and access these informal professional skill-building opportunities. It is possible that such activities may have to be designed and delivered for online graduate students.  \nThis paper presents preliminary qualitative findings from a project that developed, offered, and evaluated such online opportunities. Findings suggest that while online graduate students can and do develop professional skills while navigating their studies, building relationships, and participating in online learning communities, they are keen to develop such professional skills in a more deliberate way.  \nRésumé  \nOn présume que les étudiants des cycles supérieurs acquièrent des habiletésen communication orale et écrite et vivent des relations de collaboration quisoient complémentaires aux programmes formels des études supérieures.  \nCependant, il semblerait que seul un petit nombre d’universités offre de telles  \nCJHE / RCES Volume 43, No. 3, 2013  \nOnline graduate student identity and professional skills development /  \nD.

On suppose que les étudiants des études supérieuresacquièrent des habiletés professionnelles en raison des travaux académiques de leur formation et des relations établies avec leurs professeurs et d’autres étudiants. Lessceptiques au sujet dela formation en ligne émettent des doutes quant à la possibilité, pour les étudiants diplômés qui étudient en ligne, departiciper pleinement à ces communautés universitaires et d’avoir accès à ces occasions informelles d’acquérir des compétences professionnelles. Il se peut que ces activités doivent être conçues puis offertes aux étudiants de cycles supérieurs en ligne.  \nL’étude qui suit présente les résultats préliminaires qualitatifs d’un projet qui a élaboré, offert et évalué de telles opportunités en ligne. Les résultats suggèrent que si les étudiants de cycles supérieurs en ligne sont en mesure d’acquérir des habiletés professionnelles tout en poursuivant leurs études,échafaudant des relations et participant à des communautés d’apprentissage en ligne, ils sont aussi enthousiastes de développer plus délibérément de telles habiletés professionnelles.  \nDeveloping professional skills aimed at socializing graduate students to their scholarly role, in partnership with developing disciplinary knowledge, has become an important issue in Canadian universities (Canadian Association for Graduate Studies, 2008) . The Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (CAGS) defines professional skills as “behaviors that can be learned, that can be improved with practice, that require reflection, and that benefit from ongoing coaching”(2008, p. 1). Although professional skills development is recommended by CAGS (2008), few universities have developed such workshops (Lee, 2007), and fewer still offer professional skill b","cbCaihiADFmPUgxC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihiADFmPUgxC","pdf",402744,"English","# Abstract\n# Background\n# Research Questions and Workshop Focus\n# Methodological Approach\n# Preliminary Qualitative Findings\n# Discussion and Future Research Suggestions","[{\"question\":\"Why do the authors question traditional assumptions about professional skill development?\",\"answer\":\"They note that higher education often assumes students develop professional skills through required academic tasks and proximity to peers and faculty, even though online study may limit access to informal communities and skill-building opportunities.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the project described in the paper evaluate?\",\"answer\":\"It developed, offered, and evaluated online opportunities for professional skills development, using qualitative data from multidisciplinary graduate students across three professional skill-building workshops.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the preliminary findings suggest about online skill development?\",\"answer\":\"Online graduate students can and do develop professional skills while navigating studies, building relationships, and participating in online learning communities, and they want to develop these skills in a more deliberate way.\"}]","Online graduate student identity and professional skills development | PDF",1792083271]
