Dates: June 28 – July 2, 2021
Time: 9am-4pm easter time
This weeklong, in-person PEER workshop gives opportunities for faculty and graduate students in mathematics, physics and other disciplines to develop their own educational research practices. PEER supports emerging education researchers in developing their research interests into concrete questions, developing short- and long-term research plans, and making progress on advancing projects to publication.
SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE!
Who Should attend?
PEER targets a broad diversity of experience and interest in DBER. The workshop is appropriate for:
- Faculty not currently engaged in DBER but interested in learning about theories and methodologies for possible future research
- Current DBER researchers looking to build or broaden their network of collaborators and engage in generative discussions about existing and new projects
- Graduate students or postdoctoral researchers who want to learn more about DBER project management and building a successful research program
- Faculty at teaching-focused universities interested in using research methodology to improve or assess their teaching and/or publish in Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
What do we Do?
The field school involves workshops from 9am-4pm each day, with community breakfasts and lunches.
Participants in the field school will…
- …develop and practice fundamental underlying skills and competencies in doing research, including “yes, and”, generative writing, collaboration skills, and other topics as related to specific workshops
- …develop and make significant progress in planning their own research projects
- …increase their self-efficacy in doing education research (and communicating research in English, as appropriate).
Since the syllabus for each field school is adapted to the needs of the participants, the syllabus is only available to registered participants. However, a sample schedule is available on the Sample Field School page.
