Invitation To Participate in a Research Study

My name is Carrie Miller-DeBoer and I am a Ph.D. student in the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education at the University of Oklahoma. I would like to invite you to participate in a research study to understand more about science educators’ beliefs in their ability to teach science writing. This study is part of my dissertation project and may help in the development of workshops and professional development designed to help science educators meet writing requirements in their classrooms and courses.

If you currently teach in the secondary (middle or high school) or post-secondary (college or university) level(s), you are eligible to participate in this study.

Participation is completely voluntary and all responses will remain confidential. There are no foreseeable risks nor direct benefits from participating in this study. Participation consists of a web-based survey that should take no longer than 30 minutes.

You may ask questions about the study at any time. If you have questions about the study you may contact me, Carrie Miller-DeBoer at cmiller4462@ou.edu, (405) 325-8879 or my advisor, Timothy Laubach at laubach@ou.edu, (405) 325-1979.
