Greetings listees, The officers of the Geoscience Education Research (GER) Division of the NAGT have proposed a session for the GSA Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD being held November 1-4, 2015. We hope you might consider submitting an abstract to present your latest research findings in this session highlighting the methods you used through your process. Is there a theoretical lens appropriate for GER that you utilize in your work? Have you started using a new technique (ie. eye-tracking, big data, etc.) that is appropriate for GER? Talks submitted to this session can cross a number of topics, but we hope submissions will highlight the methods used for your research process. The abstract deadline is August 11th: http://community.geosociety.org/gsa2015/science-careers/sessions T83. Methods for Conducting Research about Teaching and Learning in the Geosciences Nicole LaDue, Laura A. Lukes, Katherine Ryker, Kim A. Cheek *GSA Geoscience Education Division; National Association of Geoscience Teachers* Geoscience Education Research (GER) draws upon methods used in a variety of social science fields, including psychology, education, and anthropology.
