What is DBER?

Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) seeks to develop evidence-based knowledge and practices that improve teaching and learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). DBER represents a collection of fields that sit at the intersection of a STEM discipline and educational research. An important feature of DBER is the strong role that the disciplines play in setting research priorities, and ensuring research is relevant to and focused on improving what is most important in moving undergraduates toward expertise in the discipline.

SABER

DBER-SiT was originally formed as a committee within the Society for the Advancement of Biology Education Research (SABER). SABER is a scientific community whose members develop theory and generate evidence with the goals of improving post-secondary biology education. SABER fosters discipline-based education research in biology and its dissemination.

DBER-SiT

Committed to creating and maintaining a network of ​graduate students, postdocs,
​and early-career scholars doing disciplinary-based education research.
