Optional Research Study:
Workshop participants will be asked to participate in a research study which involves voluntary surveys. Participants will take the surveys before the workshop (pre-survey), immediately following the conclusion of the workshop (post-survey), and after the 2018 fall semester (secondary post-survey). Participation is completely voluntary and will not affect workshop grading. Those interested in participating will complete a consent of participation form, found on the online survey. Teachers will be aware that their participation will be anonymous, come with zero risks, and will benefit themselves a future teachers. The purpose of this research study is to investigate the impact of a space-themed professional development workshop on teacher confidence in space sciences.
