Tools for Coordinating Measurement Use in Science Education and Training

Explore the critical need for coordinated measurement approaches in science education through this 56-minute webinar presented by the American Society for Microbiology. Learn how systems approaches to designing, implementing, and evaluating educational interventions require interdisciplinary collaboration between biological science practitioners and social science researchers. Discover why developing shared understanding of evaluation design and measurement use is essential for improving science education and training programs. Examine how coordinated use of common measures benefits individual interventions as well as larger consortia and collaborative groups. Understand the challenges faced by biological science leaders who may lack social science backgrounds needed for effective human studies research. Gain insights into fostering interdisciplinary partnerships that combine scientific expertise with evaluation methodology. The presentation, delivered by Fatima Sancheznieto and Christine Pribbenow from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, draws from their open-access research paper and includes a moderated Q&A session with JMBE Editor-in-Chief Stanley Maloy.
