NSF Invites Public Participation in Discussion of How to Move Quality Research Findings into Effective Educational Practice

The Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings, within the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) invites your participation in a discussion of important issues related to the enterprise of using promising knowledge gained from quality research in ways that improve teaching and learning while also advancing scientific inquiry. Participants in the listening sessions will be encouraged to share insights from their own relevant experiences including (1) the challenges and rewards of translating knowledge from research to practice (and vice versa), (2) new approaches or emerging trends related to knowledge translation, and (3) ways in which researchers might collaborate around the topic of knowledge translation. The Listening Session conversations are not intended as a basis for recommendations to NSF but are instead an effort for participants to think aloud with NSF about how to foster the translation of promising research knowledge.

EVENT INVITATION: NSF EDU invites your participation in two conversations intended to stimulate discussion of models of knowledge translation, processes related to translating promising STEM education findings, and ways in which members of the STEM education research community might collaborate to advance knowledge translation.

These conversations are hosted by representatives of four programs in DRL:  AISL, DRK-12, ECR AND ITEST.

WHEN: 

Session 1: Tuesday, January 28, 5-7pm Eastern

Session 2: Friday, February 21, 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM Eastern

ATTENDEES: Researchers; developers of curriculum, exhibits, learning environments and professional development; and practitioners in STEM education; professional organizations, foundations/funders, and anyone interested in translating research to practice and back again.

WHERE: The listening session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. To participate fully you will need to have Zoom installed on your device. You can download the latest version for free here.

RSVP: Pre-registration is required for this event. A Zoom meeting link and password will be sent to you after your registration is confirmed.

Register for Session 2 on Friday, February 21 here: https://ida-org.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJItdu-orzkvGWiQpzBXY5O6CPjyEzp3oTk

MEETING LOGISTICS CONTACT: Dr. Brian Zuckerman (bzuckerm@ida.org)

GUIDING QUESTIONS:  As part of the listening session, NSF is seeking to foster discussion of the following:

1. How does the field identify promising principles and practices for use in STEM education?

2. What would a good model of research to practice translation do or look like? What processes would be involved?

3. How can research to practice translation be more widely developed and fostered?

4. What knowledge, skills and perspectives do fundamental and applied STEM education researchers need to achieve research to practice translation?

5. What important questions are we not asking about research to practice translation?

AGENDA: After an introduction and context-setting remarks from NSF staff, there will be an open forum for participants.

LOGISTICS: The IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute will be facilitating the meeting on NSF’s behalf. The meeting will be recorded. Participation in this session implies consent for NSF to capture your name, voice, and likeness, and anything you say may be recorded and transcribed for NSF use. Moderators will manage participation. For more details regarding the listening session, please contact Wu He (wuhe@nsf.gov), Lynn Tran (ltran@nsf.gov) Jolene Jesse (jjesse@nsf.gov), Joan Walker (jowalker@nsf.gov) or David Daniel (ddaniel@nsf.gov) at NSF
