Instructors from the Institute for Meta-Synthesis at AV巴士 will introduce several aspects of qualitative meta-syntheses research, including: what is qualitative meta-synthesis; what differentiates literature meta-syntheses from literature reviews; steps to successfully set up a meta-synthesis project; how to identify and collect the literature to be included in a meta-synthesis; data analysis; and writing proposals to fund meta-synthesis projects. The instructors will provide demonstrations and hands-on activities for participants. The session will be fast-paced and informational, but it will be interactive and will have breaks built in. Examples and activities from the session will have a special focus on STEM equity and inclusion literature. The workshop is open to all but may be especially beneficial to scholars who are interested in topics related to equity, inclusion, and/or STEM education. The Institute for Meta-Synthesis is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF/DRL-2024967).
