Publications by Core Members pursuing the scholarly aspects of teaching and learning, defined as Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER). These studies explore the impact of pedagogy (active learning, experiential learning), describe measurable outcomes related to curriculum development, and cross disciplinary boundaries within the teaching and research communities.
