Research Internship Opportunity
The collaborative research team at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education, in partnership with the Stanford d.school and the Department of Engineering, invites undergraduate students to apply for a Research Internship. This exciting opportunity involves participation in a two-year research project focused on how modern educational technology companies design products that promote equity-based teaching and learning practices.
About the Project
The project examines a Community of Practice (CoP) model where technology designers, executives, and educators collaborate to improve the design and implementation of educational technology tools. The research aims to explore differences in learning and design approaches between participants in the CoP and technology designers not engaged in this collaborative model.
Interns will assist in conducting qualitative interviews with technology designers, analyzing data, and evaluating the design of educational software. Additionally, interns will receive training in experimental research methods, guided by experienced members of the research team.
Responsibilities
- Conduct qualitative interviews with technology designers.
- Analyze qualitative data to uncover trends and insights.
- Assess and critique educational technology tools.
- Collaborate with team members to refine research methodologies and findings.
- Learn and apply the fundamentals of experimental research in educational settings.
Qualifications
- Current undergraduate students.
- Coursework in education, educational technology, design, or teaching.
- Strong interest in educational research and equity-focused teaching practices.
- Effective communication and collaboration skills.
Application Process
Applications must be submitted through the designated website by the end of February. Applicants are encouraged to express their interest in educational research and technology and provide relevant academic or experiential background.
