USCOTS 2023 - Research Satellite


The CAUSE Research Satellite will be held on Wednesday evening, May 31, 2023 and Thursday morning, June 1, 2023, before the start of the USCOTS 2023 conference. The satellite event provides a platform to promote and support the advancement of statistics and data science education research by: 

  • Connect researchers from diverse disciplines that inform knowledge about teaching, learning, and assessment in statistics and data science.
  • Disseminate resources on and elevate the visibility of research in statistics and data science education.
  • Advocate for the value and impact of the research in statistics and data science education.

The satellite will feature a plenary presentation, a poster session, and contributed presentations on research results related to teaching and learning statistics or data science.

Please consider submitting a proposal on your research for the poster session or research presentation topics (see details below).

Sessions related to the USCOTS conference theme, Communication with/about Data, are welcome, but not required.

 

Call for Poster Session Proposals

Posters give researchers the opportunity to present work in any phase of the research process (including in-process work), without necessarily requiring a focus on final results. This track allows authors to garner feedback, gain exposure, practice presenting, and recruit collaborators and/or participants within the structure of the CAUSE Research Satellite.

Posters provide authors with an opportunity to discuss their work in detail with a small group.

Proposal deadline: January 29, 2023

The poster sessions at CAUSE Research Satellite and USCOTS 2023 are not mutually exclusive; authors are welcome to submit the same poster proposal to both sessions.

 

Poster Submission Information:

To submit a poster proposal, provide the information as described in the section below. (Click to expand)

  • Name of speaker(s)
  • Affiliation or Institution
  • Email
  • Phase of work at time of presentation will be (choose all that apply):
    • initial idea
    • working on research design
    • some data collected
    • pilot study completed
    • initial results
    • published or publishable results
    • other (please explain)
  • My goal in presenting this poster is (choose all that apply):
    • solicit feedback from the community regarding a SDSE research project (including sharing project plans and/or initial results)
    • describe a new SDSE research project for which the author(s) are seeking collaborators and/or participants
    • present a new tool, technique, or methodology
    • share encouraging initial results from a SDSE research project
    • present unpublished results of an ongoing SDSE research project
    • other (please explain)
  • Abstract

    Poster proposals will follow a structured abstract format:

    • Background and context (up to 200 words)
    • Methods or intended methods (up to 100 words)
    • Findings (if available; up to 100 words)
    • Implications or potential implications for teaching and for research (up to 100 words)

    There will be another textbox for you to add any detail or information that you feel is relevant for review but may not fit in structured abstract format. Abstracts will be shared in the program for the CAUSE Research Satellite, but this additional information will not be included.

Poster FAQs:

Research in any phase is welcome, from the seed of a new idea looking for input and/or collaborators to finished/recently published work.

Ideally, the CAUSE Research Satellite is seeking original research that is grounded in the literature to provide a theoretical framework and motivate research questions prior to data collection. Typically, implications of such work extends well beyond the researcher's own class or institution.

  • See for example, Petocz, Reid, and Gal (2018) description of research with a "large-R".
    Petocz, P., Reid, A., & Gal, I. (2018). Statistics education research. In D. Ben-Zvi, K. Makar, & J. Garfield (Eds.), International handbook of research in statistics education (pp. 71-99). Springer.
  • We welcome a broad range of methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, mixed) and contributions such as empirical studies, assessment development, literature reviews, meta analysis, etc.

If you aren't sure whether or not a project will be a good fit for the CAUSE Research Satellite, submit a proposal!

Submissions will be reviewed by the Research Satellite program committee.
Yes. The poster sessions at Research Satellite and USCOTS 2023 are not mutually exclusive, although the details of the submission and the audience attending each session may differ to some extent.
This session is scheduled to occur first thing in the morning on Thursday, June 1, 2023.

 

Call for Contributed Research Presentation Proposals

The contributed research session gives authors an opportunity to present original research results related to statistics or data science education at all levels (e.g., teaching, learning, assessment). These presentations allow researchers to go more in depth about current work with published or publishable results.

Submissions are welcome from across the research methods used in Statistics and Data Science Education Research and related fields (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods).
