Because of the BSCS commitment to science education and the use of research, I have had many opportunities to reference materials and use the skills and knowledge gained to help my district and region build and sustain science reform efforts.
Advancing Methodological Knowledge
- Research project to determine sample size
- Partnership with Western Michigan University
- Funding source: National Science Foundation
Thanks to funding from NSF, with this three-year project we will compile statistics that will help science education researchers determine the number of participants (sample size) needed in a study to detect a statistically significant effect.
We’re excited to work on a project with a methodological focus, and look forward to working with Western Michigan University.
This project is under the direction of BSCS Associate Director Joseph Taylor and Jessaca Spybrook of Western Michigan University.
