STEM discipline-based education research (DBER) is a growing area of strength at UCF. Several STEM DBER faculty organize a weekly DBER seminar appropriate for faculty, postdocs and graduate students participating or interested in learning more about STEM education research. The seminar typically consists of a mix of reading group activities and research presentations.
Our meeting schedule for Fall 2019 will be Thursday, 1:30 – 2:30 PM in PSB 445. Weekly meetings will continue in this time slot. If you are interested in joining the mailing list, please email Jackie Chini (Assistant Professor, Department of Physics) at jchini@ucf.edu.
