General Summary of Position

NSF "Dear Colleague Letter" of potential interest

 

CER Colleagues,

 

I hope it will be of interest to you to know that a “Dear Colleague Letter” (DCL) entitled “Fundamental Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) focused on Undergraduate and Graduate STEM Education within the EHR Core Research (ECR) Program” has just been published (see URL below, or search at NSF.gov for 19-044). The letter specifically encourages DBER submissions to the EHR Core Research program.

 

Postdoc position at the TN STEM Education Center

The Tennessee STEM Education Center (TSEC) at Middle Tennessee State University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow. We seek individuals interested in contributing to K-20 research and outreach activities and developing professional skills for future positions in academia or informal settings.

Seeking research participants for our concept test content validation study

Dear Educators, 

We are recruiting chemistry educators to assist us with content validation of a concept test that aims to measure students' thinking about the qualitative aspects of acid and base strength. Those who have taught organic chemistry at any level are especially invited to volunteer.

Volunteers will be asked to provide feedback on test items through an online questionnaire, which is anticipated to take approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

References on 'teaching abstract models' needed

 

A colleague in Applied Linguistics that is looking for references on '*teaching abstract models*' to help support a psycholinguistics manuscript. They reached out to our local DBER group, and I figured someone in the CER community might have references to contribute. If you do, please send them to me (jack.barbera@pdx.edu) and I will pass them along. Many thanks!
