You are invited to participate in a Research Jam, a novel approach to an interactive professional "talk" at the ACS Spring Mtg in Orlando. Here are the details.
Research Jam: An interactive experience to explore how a chemical education research experiment is conceived
Presenters: Christopher Bauer, Renée Cole, Patrick Daubenmire, Katherine Havanki, Regis Komperda, Kelly Neiles, Jessie VandenPlas, and Ashlie Wrenne
This Research Jam is a new experience to help bring the audience into the behind-the-scenes work that is involved in going from a question asked about learning in a chemistry situation to the decisions that chemical education researchers make when designing an experiment to address the question. This 75-minute experience will involve the audience in deciding which aspects of the research design they want to pursue and in what order, while a team of beginning, intermediate, and experienced researchers will share the logic they use in making research decisions. The Research Jam is designed as a fast-paced tour of the decision-making process with contributions from the presenting team made in response to the audience’s preference. Each expert, as well as each member of the audience who asks a question, will be asked to adhere to a short time limit so that the hypothetical research study can be brought to a reasonable conclusion. Whether you are an undergraduate, graduate or post-doctoral student, beginning or experienced chemical education researcher or just interested in understanding the field, you are invited to attend and participate in the Research Jam to see how a specific question about learning in chemistry can be addressed through the development of a chemical education research study.
