Programs Assessment WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO! Kim Kastens and David Mogk, Discipline-based Education Research (DBER) and Geoscience Webinar
Workshop overview Workshop overview Monday: What is the scope of geoscience education research? Scope of geoscience education research (GER) and how it can be used Evaluating the strength of GER results Tuesday: What do we know, what do we want to know, what do we need to move the field forward? Identifying outcomes, gaps, and next steps for topical areas within GER Wednesday: What are future directions and priorities of GER? Shaping the future of GER and the GER community Next steps for GER: Community recommendations and action plans The workshop depends on you The workshop and the Rendezvous The community synthesis work will continue & expand after the workshop
