Sandra K. Abell Institute for Doctoral Students
June 2-6, 2019
The Tennessee STEM Education Center at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) was privileged to host the biannual 2019 Sanda K. Abell Institute for Doctoral Students held on June 2-6 on the campus of MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN. The institute is sponsored by NARST (National Association for Research in Science Teaching), a worldwide organization of professionals committed to the improvement of science teaching and learning through research. This years’ theme was Science Education Research in Disciplinary Contexts. We chose this theme in order to foster a broader dialogue between young and established scholars in the fields of science education research community and discipline-based education researchers.

hosted the biennial Sandra K. Abell Institute for Doctoral Students for eight mentors
and 24 Ph.D. candidates from around the globe. Read more HERE.
