Book: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Book on the History and Future of DBER Fields


Justin’s Recommendation
This seminal book gives readers an overview of the history of DBER in a variety of STEM fields, their contributions to DBER, and the future of each.
The National Science Foundation funded a synthesis study on the status, contributions, and future direction of discipline-based education research (DBER) in physics, biological sciences, geosciences, and chemistry. DBER combines knowledge of teaching and learning with deep knowledge of discipline-specific science content. It describes the discipline-specific difficulties learners face and the specialized intellectual and instructional resources that can facilitate student understanding.
