Professor Kimberly Gomez

Kimberley Gomez’, Professor of Education and Information Studies, centers her work in examining teachers’ and students’ development and use of literate practices in formal and informal contexts. She employs the design and study of literate practices to enhance learning in mathematics, science, and technology use with an aim of informing theoretical and practical understandings. She views context as the primary lens in understanding the development of experiences and outcomes associated with learning. A corollary of this commitment is that she designs educational interventions and professional development opportunities in a collaborative and participatory manner working side-by-side with frontline practitioners across disciplinary and organizational contexts including teachers, health professionals, psychologists, computational designers, and engineers. Gomez received the Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1994. She served as a post-doctoral fellow and a research associate in the Center for Learning Technologies in Urban Schools (LeTUS) NSF-funded study at Northwestern, in Northwestern University’s , Learning Sciences program. Gomez is currently a tenured Professor of Education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She is jointly appointed in the Information Studies department at UCLA. Since 2011, Gomez has been the lead language and literacy fellow at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. In 2018 she received the Bobbie and Mark Greenfield Faculty Award for Applied Research in Learning and Achievement from the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, and in 2017, she received the Distinguished Teaching Award from UCLA’s Graduate School of Education. She is an Osher Fellowship recipient (awarded by the Exploratorium, San Francisco, CA). She is a Sudikoff Family Institute for Education & New Media fellow (2013-14) and received the Harold A. and Lois Haytin Faculty Award, from Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, UCLA for her collaborative work with teacher practitioners.

COMPLEMENTARY WORKSHOP FOR CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS

“Striving for Excellence: Enhancing Your Research Article for Scopus/ISI Indexing”

 Achieving publication in international journals is widely recognized as a significant accomplishment, serving as a pivotal tool for securing desired jobs and advancing in one’s career. It is the pathway to garnering international recognition, with many individuals successfully entering global job markets based on their internationally published research. In recent years, academic planning departments in universities have prioritized research as their primary focus, influencing faculty hiring, promotions, and overall professional growth. The contemporary academic landscape places a substantial emphasis on research output, making it a crucial factor for survival and advancement in the field.

For Ph.D. students, the publication of a research paper is now a prerequisite for the award of a Ph.D. degree. Despite the increasing emphasis on research publications by universities and faculty members, there remains a significant gap in understanding the precise methodology, pattern, and format required to develop a research paper that meets the standards of international journals. Consequently, a substantial number of research papers fail to secure publication in international journals.

This workshop aims to address the fundamental format of a research paper suitable for publication in international journals. By concentrating on key areas, the workshop intends to equip participants with the essential skills needed to craft a research paper that meets international standards. The resource persons leading this workshop boast a proven track record of publication in reputable international journals and bring extensive experience from attending research conferences worldwide.
