Conference Agenda

Posters will be on display throughout the conference. <br>\nPresenters with even-numbered posters are asked to stand by their posters during the poster session on Tuesday, while presenters with odd-numbered posters will do so on Wednesday.

This workshop will introduce participants to existing surveys that can be used \"off-the-shelf\" to examine student learning and other factors such as science interest, identity, and belonging.The target audience for this workshop is any instructor seeking to begin or strengthen their research and/or evaluation in their geoscience course or program. Participants may be experienced researchers in other aspects of the geosciences, school teachers, andgeoscientists working in outreach who have previously given little thought to education research.Conducting research in your geoscience course can help enhance future student learning and performance. The results can also be published in journals that feature the scholarship of geoscience education and exemplary teaching and learning resources. This workshop will feature on existing concept inventories and other survey types for geoscience education research and describe suitable analytical methods for interpreting the data. We anticipate that participants teaching similar courses or at similar types of institutions may find value in working collaboratively.Goals As a result of participation in the workshop, participants will be able to outline some basic steps to investigate a geoscience education research question in one of their classes or programs and understand how to analyze their research findings.
