Our Board of Health is beginning to consider salary increases for health =
educators in our district. Does anyone have a listing of national =
salaries for entry level health educators, those with 1 year experience, =
2 years, 3 years, etc. ?
Any information you can provide would be very greatly appreciated.

I have a friend in another CA county, who is in a doctoral program at La
Verne University and is looking for someone, an experiences librarian or
researcher, to assist him with the lit. review for his doctoral
dissertation on competancy based education and the delivery of on-line
graduate courses. I have agreed to broker for him and find him a research
person, since I have hired several do do lit. reviews for projects I have
had contracts for on HIV/AIDS and asthma. The problem statement as it
stands right now is below. He can pay hourly going rates, or by contract,
for a search of data bases on key terms, and more for writing. If you are
interested or know someone who might be, please have them e-mail me with
resume/background, availability, their ratre, and a writing sample. OR if
you know any resources he might be directed to, thanks for sending them on
also.
Remember ... good happens!

For the growing numbers colleges and universities joining the online
education community, curriculum access through technology is just the
beginning. Now there are tougher questions: “We’re online, webbed, and
communicating; now what?” “What does ‘effective integration of learning
technology’ really mean?” And as candidates enter programs with advanced
skills, how can programs like La Verne’s achieve measurable results in a
competency-based system? The question, “How are we using the technology?”
demands a real answer.
Moving into the online environment and with a primary focus on the
application of management theory to the practices and processes of
administrating education institutions, the University of La Verne Doctoral
Program in Education Management faces new design challenges. How can the
program deliver its education management theory courses in a
competency-based model online and still retain the high-touch program that
sets them apart from the competition?
The Problem
After an extensive self-examination and analysis of feedback; and at the
advent of it’s online delivery of course curriculum, University of La
Verne’s Doctoral Program in Education Management is seeking answers to
important questions. The program needs to be individualized for students;
to account for what students already know and can do. The current
management theme courses need to be transformed to a competency-based
model, and optimized for delivery in an online environment.
Goal of the Project
The goal of the project is to assist faculty of the University of La Verne
Doctoral Program in Education Management in developing a foundation for
transforming their current management theme courses to a competency-based
model for online delivery.
Research Objective
The research objective seeks to describe the steps a graduate level
program, like the University of La Verne Doctoral Program in Education
Management, must undertake to transform the curriculum into a
competency-based structure optimized for delivery online.
Literature Review
Introduction - LIT REVIEW
Chapter two is divided into two main parts. The first is a review of the
literature concerning the history of competency-based education. The
second part is a review of the current literature addressing instructional
design and delivery of online graduate programs.

I don't know about anyone else out there but I have real problems with a
doctoral student hiring someone to write a portion of their dissertation.
Having a librarian assist him with guidelines and databases for literature
searches is another issue. Colleen Mahoney

Colleen,
I too thought it was interesting but then again, we don't think twice when
we have doc students hire data entry folks, and number crunchers who run AND
interpret statistics. Nor do we have problems with students turning a final
draft over to a professional editor. What "job shopping" the lit review
does is complete the loop. Doctoral work is no longer about a student's
ability to do original research but is about a student's ability to manage a
project with lots of subcontractors. The only expertise is to learn a
product well enough to defend the conclusions. Oh, then hire graduate
students to write peer reviewed publications : )
Ain't academics grand?

I wish to withdraw my previous request for Lit. Review help; after a few
well stated slaps on the wrist, I have communicated with my friend, about
the inappropriateness of any more than data base rsearch assistance, and
already found someone who completed that work for me in the past, and will
do that job and only that.
Sorry to bother your readers with this ill-timed and not well thought out
message. If it is possible to delete it before any more get bothered by it
please do so.

Wow, Interesting. My last post might have sounded tongue and cheek but I,
for one, fail to see the difference between hiring data entry folk and, in
lots of cases, professional number crunchers to assist with parts of
dissertation research or hiring a writer/editor to clean up a dissertation
rough draft and hiring someone to do a lit review. Please what am I
missing? If there was a more critical skill that should NOT be outsourced,
it seems like it would be the data crunching and interpreting.

Subject: Helping Doctoral Students perform a lit review
**
** AAHE--Official Sponsor of the HEDIR

Fellow HEDIRS concerned about doc students getting help :
I have 24 years of experience as a faculty member in higher education. During
that time I have served on research advisory committes of over ninety students,
most of them now alums. Before that, I had the glorious experience of completing
a master's thesis and dissertation. While performing the work on the thesis
and dissertation, I discussed with my cohorts in the degree programs their
experiences
in getting help and support from a wide array of folks.
I learned that in the enterprise of performing research there are all kinds
of patterns of support sought and received. Mark Fulop is right in suggesting
that assistance is sought and received in a variety of forms. Data crunching
consultations, word processing and editing services, and copying, printing,
and binding are the most commponly contracted support services. Of course,
many mentors/research committee chairs provide lots of guidance and support.
Some have reportedly done substantial write and rewrite work for their protoges.
The key factors for which the doctoral candidate should, and generally is,
rquired
to take responsibility are: ownership of the research problem (accepted and
embraced it), knowledge of the research protocol (can defend it), understanding
and explaining the results, and making worthwhile recommendations for use of
the findings and future directions in which related research might be directed.
As long as the doctoral candidate or master's researcher can demonstrate
competence
in these areas of responsibility, they have achieved the level of an able
researcher.
Most accomplished researches hire assistants and consultants to get most of
the less glamorous research work done. They contribute comprehensive, or at
least broad-based, knowledge of the research problem, knowledge of previous
and contemporary research on the problem, selection of the research protocol,
understanding and explaining the results, and making recommendations about using
the findings and the directions in which future research related to the problem
might take.
Pat, I would not be so apologetic about the request you made. Just because
someone else conducts certain lit review tasks does not mean your doctoral
candidate
friend would fail to understand or be able to defend the content or parameters
of the literature gathered. I assume the librarian would inquire as to the
types of content to be gathered and the parameters within which to search.
The librarian can collate and provide summaries of documents gathered or
identified
through the data retrieval process. The researcher still has to review the
literature collected to determine which of it meets the requirements of the
research problem being addressed, the protocol for data gathering and analysis,
and contributing to the understanding necessary to explain the results of the
data analysis. Where the initial literature search falls short, the reseacher
would need to fill in the holes. The research has to defend the review of
literature
written into the dissertation, as well as the entire document, to experienced
research mentors and professional colleagues.
Many professors/mentors have spent exhausting hours prodding their protoges
to think through the lierature review they are reporting in their dissertation
to assure that they gain the insights necessary to select the data collection
and analysis protocol and to, in turn, understand the rsults of the analysis
and make reasonable and appropriate recommendations. Hiring help to gather
literature documents or abstracts, collate, and summarize clusters of these,
does not strike me as being much different than hiring someone to enter data
and instruct a data analysis software package to spit out the results. As the
researcher needs to be able to defend the results of the data analysis, she
or he needs to be able to defend the literature reviewed and summarized in the
disseration.
