To enhance learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), we need to better understand how students acquire and use STEM knowledge, and how instructors can facilitate learning in STEM. Biology education researchers contribute to this understanding by applying their expertise in biology to the study of undergraduate teaching and learning in the discipline. Biology education research (BER) is a relatively young field, emerging after physics and chemistry education research. Thus there are many research questions to answer in BER, and this work will require more biology education researchers. The Undergraduate Biology Education Research Version 2 (UBERV2) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at University of Georgia will address this need by contributing to the BER talent pool.The UBERV2 REU program will select and train 24 diverse undergraduate students in biology education research over the next three years. UBERV2 fellows will develop their BER understanding and skills while adding to theory and knowledge about biology teaching and learning. UBERV2 fellows will collaborate with faculty mentors on individual research projects. They will also engage in program offerings organized around three areas: a research strand, a career strand, and a professionalism strand. After participating in UBERV2 students will be able to 1) use appropriate methods to analyze data associated with biology teaching and learning, 2) evaluate peer-reviewed papers in BER and science education research, 3) identify sound educational research questions and appropriate research designs, 4) communicate their research findings in scientific formats, and 5) outline career pathways in or related to education research. This experience will prepare UBERV2 fellows to pursue graduate work in BER. Overall, the project will contribute enhanced understandings of biology teaching and learning, and build the biology education research talent pool, which is expected to lead to improvements in undergraduate STEM education.

为了增强科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学习，我们需要更好地了解学生如何获得和使用STEM知识，以及讲师如何促进STEM中的学习。生物学教育研究人员通过将生物学专业知识应用于学科的本科教学研究来为这一理解做出了贡献。生物学教育研究（BER）是一个相对年轻的领域，在物理和化学教育研究之后出现。因此，在BER中有许多研究问题需要回答，这项工作将需要更多的生物学教育研究人员。佐治亚大学本科生（REU）计划的本科生物学教育研究版本2（UBERV2）研究经验将通过为BER Talent Pool做出贡献来满足这一需求。UBERV2 REU计划将在未来三年内选择和培训24种不同的生物学教育研究生。 UBERV2研究员将发展他们的理解和技能，同时增加有关生物学教学的理论和知识。 UBERV2研究员将与教师导师合作就个人研究项目进行合作。他们还将参与围绕三个领域组织的计划产品：研究链，职业链和专业精神。参与UBERV2学生将能够1）使用适当的方法来分析与生物学教学的数据相关的数据，2）评估BER和科学教育研究中的同行评审论文，3）3）确定合理的教育研究问题和适当的研究设计，4）4）以科学形式进行研究，以及与教育研究或与教育研究相关的研究。这种经验将为UberV2研究员做好准备，以从事Ber的研究生工作。总体而言，该项目将有助于增强对生物学教学教学的理解，并建立生物学教育研究人才库，这将导致大学STEM教育的改善。
