Join PER in welcoming Dr. Mary Bridget Kustusch, who will be giving a seminar on October 22, asking the question 'How does one become a STEM education researcher?' As an explicitly interdisciplinary field, combining disciplinary expertise with education research theory and methodology, developing mastery in STEM education research is not straightforward. It can be particularly challenging for "boundary crossers" coming to education research after training in a more traditional STEM disciplinary area. This presentation explores the Professional development for Emerging Education Researchers (PEER) model for emerging researchers to learn the nuances of STEM education research in an experiential and community-based environment. In addition to discussing the goals, theoretical frameworks, and structure of PEER, this presentation will highlight current program outcomes and planned future growth supported by two new NSF Building Capacity for STEM Education Research (BCSER) grants.
