A new multimedia resource developed by WCER researcher Brian Burt aims to draw more Black men into the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields using research-backed methods to support Black boys and men in STEM from primary school through doctoral studies and in home settings.
WCER's Epistemic Analytics lab shared tools and techniques with 29 attendees from across the country in an intensive, four-day program around quantitative ethnography, a methodology without peer in pulling human insights from big data.
The Multilingual Learning Research Center's Speaker Series will highlight research about the teaching and learning of multilingual learners. The series starts with WestEd's Haiwen Chu on "Multilingual Learners Co-Constructing Proofs and Representations: Linking Language and Logic."
Brendan Eagan and Andrew Ruis traveled to the South American nation to provide training on tools developed in the Epistemic Analytics lab of the Center for Research on Complex Thinking. The tools can pull rich new meaning about culture and human behavior from big data generated by pioneering programs like Uruguay's one-laptop-per-child program.
The latest findings from surveys and interviews of current and former members of the military in five states show the building of authentic bonds on campus is one key to smoother transitions and college/career success in STEM topics.
