Episode 1: Anatomy of a Research Paper with Dr. Jennifer Chiu
Because this series is all about taking a deeper dive into current K-8 CS education research, I thought it would be good to spend the first episode of the podcast looking at the anatomy of a research paper with my advisor, Dr. Jennifer Chiu. Jennie is an Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of Virginia. I know when I was a teacher, I often found reading research papers intimidating because there were a lot of concepts and terminology that I did not understand. Hopefully this episode will break down some of those barriers. |
