[RUME] May 4 TRUSE conference registration deadline

[Chris Rasmussen]

May 4 is the deadline for registration for the second of two NSF-funded
interdisciplinary undergraduate STEM education research conferences. The
conference will take place at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul,
Minnesota from June 3 - June 7, 2012.

More information about the conference, including registration, can be found
at http://www.chem.purdue.edu/Towns/TRUSE/

The Transforming Research in Undergraduate STEM Education (TRUSE) conference
will highlight advances in research in undergraduate science and mathematics
education and seek to develop synergies between the disciplines.

Conference Themes
o  Theoretical foundations and methodologies: Conceptualizing work in
research on undergraduate discipline-based STEM education
o  Assessment: How do we measure outcomes of interest and what is the nature
of the claims we make?
o  Transfer of knowledge and concepts within and across domains
o  Nature of knowledge for teaching in the discipline
o  First year courses: How do we best support student success?

The conference will bring together researchers in undergraduate science and
mathematics education to transform and integrate research across
disciplines. In addition to plenary sessions there will be poster sessions,
targeted sessions to interact and plan with new colleagues, and interactive
free time. This is your chance to be part of an emerging community of
scholars collaborating across disciplinary lines!
