Shared Practices & Implications from the 2022 NSF ITEST Principal Investigator Meeting
Description
The 2022 PI meeting was held as a thematic working meeting focused on field building and experience sharing. Projects were asked to come prepared to share ongoing/formative experiences about their incomplete work. During the meeting, projects engaged in sharing and reflection around the meeting themes with the goal of gathering input, getting unstuck, collecting insights, and receiving advice. Projects were asked to reflect on and identify best practices and share how they will incorporate this guidance to strengthen their current project work. NSF Program Officers developed the meeting themes as a frame in which to showcase exemplary work and to engage the ITEST community in conversation. Each day of the conference featured an over-arching theme, providing a pathway for the conference and building toward the future. The sessions were each designed as a panel moderated by NSF Program Officers, with interactive elements used to engage attendees.
This report is a summary of the three-day event to serve as a reference for ITEST Program Officers, participants, and those interested in building on the work of the community. It includes a capture of the structure and design of the event, summarizes the sessions and topics, and highlights the rich discussions held within sessions. STELAR has synthesized these discussions into a collection of shared practices and implications for the entire ITEST
community, to support future ITEST development and to advance the broader field of STEM and ICT education research.
