随着数据驱动的研究成为常态，数据管理方面的实用知识对研究人员至关重要。尽管研究数据管理（RDM）的重要性越来越大，但在大学一级的正规教育却很少。学术图书馆员现在发挥领导作用，开发和提供RDM培训和支持教师和研究生。本案例研究描述了一个新的，信用轴承课程RDM的开发和实施，从所有学科的研究生。该课程的目的是使学生获得RDM的基础知识和技能，以支持规划，管理，保存和共享研究数据的长期习惯。该课程的教学方法将以结果为中心的课程设计与主动学习技术相结合。通过匿名学生调查进行定期课程评估，目的是衡量课程的功效和质量，并获得修改或改进建议。这些评估结果显示课程内容和范围适当，主动学习方法有效。对学生学习的评估表明，所有主要学习目标都已实现。下一步从学生调查中获得的信息被用来确定如何修改课程，以改善学生的经验和课程和教学的整体质量。
INTRODUCTION As data-driven research becomes the norm, practical knowledge in data stewardship is critical for researchers. Despite its growing importance, formal education in research data management (RDM) is rare at the university level. Academic librarians are now playing a leadership role in developing and providing RDM training and support to faculty and graduate students. This case study describes the development and implementation of a new, credit-bearing course in RDM for graduate students from all disciplines. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM The purpose of the course was to enable students to acquire foundational knowledge and skills in RDM that would support long-term habits in the planning, management, preservation, and sharing of research data. The pedagogical approach for the course combined outcomescentered course design with active learning techniques. Periodic course assessment was performed through anonymous student surveys, with the objective of gauging course efficacy and quality, and to obtain suggested modifications or improvements. These assessment results indicated that the course content and scope were appropriate and that the active learning approach was effective. Assessments of student learning demonstrated that all major learning objectives were achieved. NEXT STEPS Information derived from the student surveys was used to determine how the course could be modified to improve student experience and the overall quality of the course and the instruction.
