SUMMARY:Designing, Implementing and Learning from Research on STEM Education 
DESCRIPTION:
 How do you design STEM education research that 
 can make a difference in students learning challenging 
 ideas?  What makes a good question 
 to explore?  What makes a good research design? 
 In this workshop, Joe and Bob will take you 
 through a process for designing, implementing 
 and learning from STEM education research. 
 As in disciplinary based research, asking appropriate 
 and powerful questions that can both 
 help solve pressing problems but also contribute 
 to the knowledge of the community in paramount. 
 Asking the "right question" is always 
 a tough component of any research. They will 
 focus on the importance of building from what 
 is already known in the literature to find 
 solutions to problems of students learning. 
 Next, they will explore designs that can help 
 you answer question. They will focus on a design-based 
 cycle that can help your research 
 on STEM education build from initial seed ideas 
 through more robust and mature projects. 
 The session will provide time for you to discuss 
 and plan ideas with your colleagues.\n\n
