Bringing Research on Learning to the Geosciences: A Workshop Proposal

研究人员将主持一个为期两天的研讨会，由20位地球科学教育、学习科学和将学习科学应用于STEM学科的领导人参加。讲习班的目标是确定与地球科学学习有关的引人注目的研究问题，讨论传播现有学习研究的途径，并启动基础广泛的活动规划和协调。讲习班的参与者将讨论被认为是学习的关键障碍的课堂经验，确定适用于学习地球科学的现有研究，确定在地球科学学习方面的新工作，并商定具体步骤。会议将编写一份报告，就传播学习研究提出建议。这次讲习班被认为是将学习研究纳入本科地球科学教育的一系列活动的第一步。

The investigators would host a two-day workshop of 20 leaders in geoscience education, learning sciences, and the application of learning science to STEM disciplines. The goals of the workshop are to define the compelling research issues about learning in the geosciences, discuss avenues for disseminating existing research on learning, and initiate broad-based planning and coordination of activities. The participants in the workshop will discuss classroom experiences that are believed to be critical barriers to learning, define existing research that is applicable to learning geosciences, define new work on learning in the geosciences, and agree on specific steps. The meeting will produce a report with recommendations for disseminating research on learning. This workshop is believed to be the first step in a series of activities to integrate research on learning into undergraduate geoscience education.
