Description
Passing down scientific knowledge is a common but often overlooked part of work for advanced graduate students and postdocs working with more junior student researchers. In this workshop, you will apply teaching and learning strategies to streamline your research training, develop training resources, and assess your trainee’s learning. Together, we’ll explore how to identify knowledge bottlenecks, how to articulate training needs and goals, and how to improve collaboration on training with the various trainees you’re guiding through these processes. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Describe a training task in which you, as a trainee, encountered a bottleneck and how you overcame it.
- Assess your training approach for the above task to recognize where you may overlook complexity faced by a new trainee.
- Analyze your process to accomplish this task and construct a procedure to ease trainee’s learning, practice, and mastery.
- Leave with documented steps for a future training scenario they expect to encounter with a novice researcher
