Dear Colleagues,
As we near the end of 2022, CADRE is taking a look back at the past year of DRK-12 ideas and resources that made an impact and taking note of some of the important influences on STEM education research.
During 2022, CADRE focused on broadening participation in the DRK-12 program and building capacity for quality education research through our CADRE Fellows program, Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum of DRK-12 video series, and CADRE Learning Series. (Register for our upcoming learning series on using video in research!) We began planning the 2023 DRK-12 PI Meeting and engaged a group to consider DRK-12’s influence on classroom-based assessment. (Watch for the group’s report in the winter.) We’re not alone in capacity-building efforts. The Evidence and Quality Research (EQR) Hub hosted a series of webinars, and a DRK-12-funded conference grant resulted in the book Doing Research: A New Researcher’s Guide. We hope these efforts and our resources on CADREK12.org have served you well, and we always invite your suggestions for additional ways we can offer support. While we were busy, so were you! Below you’ll find popular Spotlights, blog posts, tweets, videos, and more highlighting DRK-12 work.
In case you missed them, catch up on the following recently released federal agency reports. The CoSTEM progress report provides an update on federal STEM education activities. The 2021 Survey of Earned Doctorates includes data on 1,204 recipients of education research doctorates. And the Chips Act points to some relevant questions to consider as we engage in education research, such as How does our work support ecosystems to cultivate rigorous, culturally relevant, and joyful STEM classrooms with a focus on belonging that meets the needs of underrepresented students and educators? How will we know and track the number of stakeholders who will be impacted by this commitment, including states, districts, schools, educators, and students? How are we changing and improving the experiences of students and educators because of our work? How will our commitment increase impact across the STEM ecosystem? How do we plan to achieve the outcomes, and why do we think our approach will work?
We’re looking forward to a productive 2023 and are excited to bring members of our community together at the PI meeting. Happy Holidays!
CADRE Learning Series: Using Video in DRK-12 Research
January 27, 1:30-3:00 PM ET
Moderator: Ilana Horn, Vanderbilt University
Panelists: Heather Hill, Harvard University; Joanne Lobato, San Diego State University; Nanette Seago, WestEd; Erica Walker, Columbia University
Do you want to introduce video approaches into your research or figure out new strategies for recording and analyzing video data? In the first webinar of this Learning Series, learn how researchers incorporate video into their studies for a range of purposes and at different scales. In a follow-up session, you will have the opportunity to join smaller consultation groups to discuss design ideas for your own studies.
