Collaborative Research: Catalyzing Early Career Partnerships to Promote Discipline-Based Education Research in the Geosciences

该奖项将为40名参与者提供为期2天的研讨会，以促进地球，大气，海洋和极地科学的早期职业学科研究人员与地球科学学科教育研究人员（DBER）之间的关系。这些关系是至关重要的两个原因：（1）解决人们如何学习地球科学内容和发展成为专家地球科学家所需的基础研究和（2）促进早期职业地球科学家在提高其研究的更广泛的影响。该研讨会将召开，以发展互利的研究合作之间的早期职业调查，将建立在现存的文献。本次研讨会将促进地球科学调查人员和DBER之间的网络联系，以拓宽视野，发展联系，并为地球科学界培养未来的领导者。本次研讨会的参与者将建立专业关系，这可能会为整个社区的研究和教育实践提供信息。此外，预计通过这些互动，这两个群体的教学实践将更好地了解和培训未来的地球科学家将很好地了解研究成果。讲习班将于2014年8月在华盛顿特区举行。

This award will support a 2-day workshop for 40 participants to catalyze relationships between early career disciplinary researchers in the earth, atmospheric, ocean, and polar sciences and discipline-based education researchers (DBERs) in the geosciences. These relationships are critical for two reasons: (1) to address the foundational research needed on how people learn geoscience content and develop into expert geoscientists and (2) to facilitate early career geoscientists in enhancing the broader impacts of their research. The workshop will be convened to grow mutually beneficial research collaborations amongst early career investigators that will build upon the extant literature. This workshop will promote networking amongst geoscience investigators and DBERs to broaden perspectives, develop connections, and nurture a community of future leaders for the geoscience community. The participants at this workshop will establish professional relationships that are likely to inform research and educational practices for the community at large. Moreover, it is expected that through these interactions the teaching practices of both groups would be better informed and training of future geoscientists will be well informed by research results. The workshop will take place in the Washington DC area in August 2014.
