Module Proposal

Project EDDIE aims to engage the community to develop a larger suite of flexible EDDIE teaching modules that pair scientific concepts and quantitative reasoning with teaching with data. We seek proposals that:

  1. Develop students' quantitative reasoning (QR) ability to interpret data and to reason with numbers in real-world situations
  2. Engage students with LTER datasets in biology, geology, ecology, environmental science, or related fields
  3. Utilize engaging, student-centered teaching pedagogies (Opens in a new window)
  4. Contribute new concepts to the existing suite of EDDIE teaching modules (Opens in a new window)

Please answer the following questions in relation to the module your are proposing to develop.

Research Release

Project EDDIE seeks to develop high quality teaching materials that are easy for instructors to adopt and adapt in their teaching. A series of webinars and workshops will help the project align resources with the community needs. We are conducting surveys and assessing workshop and webinar discussions to better understand 1) barriers and solutions for teaching quantitative reasoning with large data sets, and 2) the effect of the professional development on participants. These data will be incorporated into our research results in aggregate. Presentation of the material will be confined to project work groups, professional publications, and conferences. When individual quotes are used to illustrate important points, your name will not be identified. There are no foreseeable risks resulting from your participation.

Consent

I have read the Description of the Evaluation of Participation and Implications of Consent (opens in a new window) or it was read to me. I know the possible risks and benefits. I know that being in this study is voluntary. I choose to be in this study. I know that I can withdraw at any time.
