Discipline-based education research

Discipline-based education research is a way of learning about how to teach subjects like science, math, and history. Just like how you need to learn how to ride a bike before you can ride it, teachers also need to learn how to teach these subjects effectively.

Discipline-based education research helps teachers figure out the best ways to help you learn these subjects. Researchers will watch classrooms and collect data, like what activities are happening and what students are saying. They will use this data to figure out what works best and what doesn't work so well.

Then, they can share their findings with teachers all over the country so that they can use the best teaching methods in their own classrooms. This helps students like you learn more effectively and have more fun while learning!
