Introducing POSTEdu: A Positive, Inclusive and Participatory Program for Educators
The next generation of researchers and consumers of science must be equipped with knowledge of open and reproducible research to maintain and further scientific standards. Thus, educators and mentors must be able to provide a strong foundation in Open Science training.
To facilitate this, a team at the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT) is designing a pedagogically-informed, evidence-based, self-guided program to support the teaching of Open Science. Three modules for educators interested in teaching Open Science are being developed through a 1) positive, 2) participatory, and 3) inclusive lens.
Our goal is to develop this program in close consultation with the community involved in Open Science. In this session, we would like to i) present this program; ii) discuss areas for improvement; and iii) identify opportunities to amplify its reach to educators in different academic fields.
