[RUME] Invitation

[DRL REESE Program Inquiries]

REESE Solicitation Webinar

The Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering
(REESE) program cordially invites you to participate in a Webinar to
discuss the revisions of the current program solicitation.  

The goals of the REESE program are: (1) to catalyze discovery and
innovation at the frontiers of STEM learning, education, and evaluation;
(2) to stimulate the field to produce high quality and robust research
results through the progress of theory, method, and human resources; and
(3) to help coordinate and transform advances in education, learning
research, and evaluation efforts. REESE pursues its mission by
developing an interdisciplinary research portfolio focusing on core
scientific questions of STEM learning in current and emerging learning
contexts, both formal and informal, from childhood through adulthood,
and from before school through to graduate school and beyond into the
workforce. 

REESE has two topical strands:

1.	Emerging Research projects challenge scholarly communities to
put forward groundbreaking ideas, concepts, theories, modes of research
and development, and the measurement and methodological technologies
needed to understand and measure the impact of the proposed innovations.
The REESE program is committed to supporting transformative education
research in STEM education through novel answers to foundational
questions about what STEM concepts can be learned by whom, at what age,
and how and where that can happen.

	2.	The Contextual Research strand encourages proposals that
address central problems and topics in STEM education, teaching and
learning, and evaluation, for all age groups and in all
settings--problems that must be addressed in order for substantial
progress to be made in educating the STEM workforce of tomorrow and
ensuring the STEM literacy of all. Research in this area is often
multidisciplinary, drawing on the expertise of STEM content experts,
STEM education researchers, cognitive and social scientists, computer
scientists, and potentially those from other areas of praxis and
scholarship. It may also draw on international research trends and
theoretical perspectives.

These strands, field questions, and other aspects of the REESE
solicitation will be discussed in more detail during the Webinar.
