Description: In this session, we will review the frameworks and approaches for research in undergraduate science education through the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER). We will engage in conversations to better understand the uniqueness and overlaps between these two fields, review examples of how SoTL/DBER is conducted in Science, and consider research questions within our own contexts.
