SMERC Seminar - Here's How NTID Does Education Research
Here's How NTID Does Education ResearchDr. Jessica TrussellRIT Assistant ProfessorMS in Secondary Education Program (NTID)Abstract:What one role do we all share? We are educators who should continually seek to improve our practice. One way to improve our practice is to engage in education intervention research that empirically tests the effects of a science, technology, engineering, art, or math (STEAM) teaching strategies on students’ learning. In the STEAM fields, education intervention research requires collaboration between a STEAM discipline expert as well as a teaching and learning expert. Such partnerships are happening at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) and the way STEAM NTID professors teach DHH students is changing. Cross college and discipline collaborations, focused on conducting intervention research that informs educational practices, benefit not only DHH students but all students.Speaker Bio:Jessica W.
