Cardiff-UCL Discipline-Based STEM Education Research Webinar

These webinars aim to support academics to get closer to experts in the field of STEM education research, and thus, provide an opportunity for discussions on the latest developments in evidence-based STEM education. The initiative is kindly supported by the IOP Higher Education Group and the Royal Society of Chemistry Higher Education Group (more information: bit.ly/CardiffUCLstemwebinars ).

We would like to bring to your attention our next event:

Ginger Shultz (University of Michigan):  ‘Writing Strategies for Learning:  How Writing Can Change the Way Students Learn Science’

Abstract: Writing engages students in solidifying tacit and unformed ideas, in connecting these ideas together, and in translating them for particular audiences.  In this session, we will explore applications of writing-to-learn pedagogy used in a variety of STEM classrooms. We will discuss strategies that make writing feasible, even in large introductory courses.
