Shaping the Future of Geoscience Education Research: Synthesizing Results and Articulating Future Directions

该项目正在调查地球科学教育研究（GER）的现状，重点是本科教育，并以最近的基于学科的教育研究（DBER）报告为基础。该项目支持地球科学教育研究界的合作努力，以识别和综合GER的成就、结果和主张，编写此类研究中使用的方法的注释列表，并建议未来的研究方向和方法来支持此类工作。该项目包括通过为期三天的研讨会以及研讨会之前、期间和之后的虚拟活动让GER和更广泛的地球科学教育界参与进来。项目网站支持社区参与和传播。该项目将重点关注地球科学的现状和未来发展方向，并最终将研究转化为实践，在个人、机构和国家层面塑造本科地球科学教育。该项目通过研讨会和虚拟参与机会支持地球科学教育研究界的发展。该项目包括通过为期三天的研讨会让GER和更广泛的地球科学教育界参与进来，以及在研讨会之前、期间和之后让社区参与进来的虚拟机会。虚拟活动包括研讨会前的虚拟讨论，研讨会期间的虚拟海报会议和讨论，以及研讨会后对产品草案的反馈和评论。该项目网站由全国地球科学教师协会（NAGT）主办。该项目的主要可交付成果包括关注GER中使用的方法的资源、迄今为止在GER中所学到的知识、未来GER工作的关键主题和问题，以及构建GER社区和支持该领域新研究人员的策略。

The project is investigating the current status of geoscience education research (GER), focusing on undergraduate education and building on recent reports on Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER). The project supports a collaborative effort by the geoscience education research community to identify and synthesize the accomplishments, results, and claims of GER, compile an annotated list of methods used in such research, and recommend future research directions and ways to support such efforts. The project includes engagement of the GER and broader geoscience education communities through a three-day workshop as well as virtual activities to engage the community before, during, and after the workshop. The project website supports community-wide engagement and dissemination. The project is providing a focus on the current status and future directions of GER and ultimately, as research translates into practice, in shaping undergraduate geoscience education at the individual, institutional, and national level. The project supports the development of the geoscience education research community through the workshop and virtual opportunities for engagement.The project includes crowd-sourced engagement of the GER and broader geoscience education communities through a three-day workshop, as well as virtual opportunities to engage the community before, during, and after the workshop. Virtual activities include virtual discussions before the workshop, a virtual poster session and discussion during the workshop, and feedback and comments on draft products after the workshop. The project website is hosted by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT). Primary deliverables from the project include resources focused on the methods used in GER, what has been learned to date in GER, critical topics and questions for future GER work, and strategies for building the GER community and support new researchers in the field.
