Indigenous Ways of Knowing & STEM: A Conference focused on the Successes, Tensions, & Possibilities for Learning

本次会议的首要目标是将学者和学生聚集在一起，关注当前的问题和对本土学生STEM教育的理解，并考虑STEM教育未来研究的潜在方向。研究人员建议召集来自不同学科和专业领域的约30名学者，在2月份AAAS年会之后或之前举行为期一天的会议，讨论与STEM教育相关的问题。除了这些被邀请的研究人员外，他们还将邀请有相关兴趣的土著学生和当地学者。会议将包括三个专题讨论会，一个学生海报会议，旨在促进教学和学习研究方面潜在合作的聚集圆桌会议，以及一个专题主题演讲。

The overarching goal of this conference is to bring together scholars and students to focus on current issues and understandings in STEM education for Native students and to consider potential directions for future research on STEM education. The investigators propose to gather a group of approximately 30 scholars from various disciplines and areas of expertise together to discuss issues related to STEM education for a one-day conference in February directly following or directly before the AAAS annual meeting. In addition to these invited researchers, they will invite Indigenous students and local scholars with related interests. The conference will consist of three symposia, a student poster session, clustered round tables intended to cross-fertilize potential collaborations in research on teaching and learning, and a featured keynote address.
