ED014: Education Research in the Earth and Space Sciences: Theoretical Foundations, Methods, and Results at the Fall
2022 AGU meeting in Chicago, December 12-16.
ED014. Education Research in the Earth and Space Sciences: Theoretical Foundations, Methods, and Results
Conveners: Kristen St John (James Madison Univ), Laura Lukes (Univ of British Columbia),
Julie Libarkin (Michigan State), Bridget Mulvey (Kent State), and Heather Fischer (Oregon State)
Description: Education research findings in Earth and space science have the potential to
inform teaching and impact learning in a wide range of settings and for a broad learner population. Understanding and applying robust theoretical foundations and appropriate interdisciplinary methodologies are essential to the research process. This session
is a venue for Earth and space science education researchers to share the theoretical foundations, methods, and findings of their research. It is also a venue for those new to discipline-based education research to learn more about the underpinning and practices
of this interdisciplinary field of study.
Please note, the AGU meeting is fully hybrid. Therefore, you will have the option of presenting in person or remotely.
As you know, the AGU Education Section is relatively new and growing. We have a commitment to co-sponsor (with the NAGT GER Division) a session on Earth and space science
education research at every fall meeting. This will be the second year of such a session. We hope that you see this as an exciting opportunity to share your research with the large, international AGU community.
Abstract submission deadline is August 3rd.
