Measurement in STEM Education 1

The PLS for Statistics and Physics of the University of Naples Federico II organize the 1st International Conference on Measurement in STEM Education (MESE1).

During the conference participants will attend to both seminaries and workshops addressing the main quantitative methods, e.g. Rasch analysis, Structural Equation Model analysis, Latent Class analysis, Cluster analysis. These quantitative methods are largely used in STEM and Science Education but also in Sociology or Psychology Education fields, so Ph.d. students and researchers from all these fields will be welcome!

Call for Papers

Abstract submissions are invited to the 1^st International Conference on Measurement in STEM Education (MESE1).

MESE1 will be held in Naples, 30-31 January and 1 February 2023. The conference will bring together researchers and practitioners from the statistics, educational sciences and STEM education field in broad sense including physics, math, biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, environmental, and math education as well as researchers and practitioners interested in computer science, data science,  economics, humanities, and other areas dealing with quantitative methods of analysis.

The conference will host invited, organized sessions, and workshops on theoretical and conceptual frameworks, validation studies, methods for data collection, modeling, analysis, and visualization aimed at the evaluation of learning processes in a broad sense, including class interventions and large scale surveys. The conference will hopefully provide new and refreshing ideas and recommendations about the evaluation of the learning processes. It is also hoped that the conference is informative, insightful, and relevant to those who wish keep up with the latest results in quantitative education research.
