At this free webinar, the authors of A Long View of Undergraduate Research: Alumni Perspectives on Inquiry, Belonging, and Vocation will discuss findings from research on undergraduate research alumni from across the disciplines. These alumni reveal how undergraduate research is intellectually and personally significant during college and vocationally significant after college, and they suggest ways in which mentors, research programs, and institutions can sustain more meaningful, equitable research experiences.
Preservice and in-service teacher thinking risks being outsourced to ‘reasoning’ models of AI (e.g. Open AI 3.0 mini and Deep Seek). Simultaneously, the same risk is true for the thinking of the school students they teach. This webinar provides ways to manage this risk through conceptualization and practice about facilitating rich research thinking, using examples from the open-access Springer book ‘Research Thinking for Responsive Teaching’.
