The first winter term session in the School of Education Research Colloquium Series featured Dr. Karen Thomas-Brown, assistant professor in the UM-Dearborn School of Education. Her presentation on January 26, focused a study she conducted at MacArthur Elementary School in Southfield (MI). She studied the effects on participants of an after-school program called a geography club. She described the theoretical framing of the work as well as the practical impact on students’ “geographic literacy,” as indicated by evidence of many types from various sources.
The next colloquium in this series will be on February 23, 2012, at 4:30-6:00 p.m. in the School of Education conference room (252 FCS). At that session, John Branch, a student in the SOE doctoral program and lecturer at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at UM-Ann Arbor, will present the findings of a study he has conducted on analogical reasoning in higher education.
Faculty and students from across the UM-Dearborn campus are invited to attend. Please visit the SOE Research Colloquium page for more information regarding dates, speakers, topics and updates: http://www.soe.umd.umich.edu/soe_research_colloquium.
