IODP School of Rock 2020
The Scientific Ocean Drilling IMPACT workshop series, held in 2020-2022, strived to chart the future course of science communication and outreach for scientific ocean drilling, in direct support of the 2050 Framework for Scientific Ocean Drilling and its call to "communicate far-reaching scientific ocean drilling knowledge to the broader community." SERC provided support in hosting the project website, including providing virtual workshop support, web infrastructure for a 2022 in-person workshop, and as a mechanism for disseminating project products.

Improving Undergraduate Scientific Explanations: Exploring the Role of Data Literacy
The Improving Undergraduate Scientific Explanations: Exploring the Role of Data Literacy Skills in Scientific Reasoning project at Rider University is supported by an NSF IUSE grant (#2021347) awarded to Kathleen Browne in 2020. The PIs investigate whether students who participate in courses that use data sets from the NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) and provide instruction in the use of "DCER" (i.e., Data Description-Claim-Evidence-Reasoning) are able to provide better explanations of scientific observations than those in a comparison group and perform better on assessments of scientific reasoning and data literacy.The SERC evaluation team consulted on the statistical analysis and conducted a process evaluation using artifact review and interviews.
SERC Role: Evaluation, Education Research
Oceans in the News
The Oceans in the News course uses polar science examples to build student skills in data analysis and use of media and other sources. Students will develop proficiency in data visualization and its application to the analysis of news stories about polar regions. SERC adapted it course publishing format to allow dissemination of these course materials.
