Four student researchers shared the findings of their year-long projects with the audience. \u00a0 The atmosphere at the event clearly radiated with their achievements. \u00a0Emily Howe and Tim Naratil explained their innovative work on teaching metacognitive skills to middle school children. \u00a0The team of two even proposed a new, age-appropriate measure of metacognition for researchers who work in this field.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, it is evident how each of the Community Learning Fellows and their partners benefited greatly from the opportunity to work together. The Research Colloquium helped the student researchers to come together as a community of young scholars as they encountered the struggles of independent research, and even more importantly to work together on how to communicate their research to broader audiences and collaborate effectively with their community partners. Most importantly, the Colloquium sponsors the opportunity for students to share their community-based research, which helps Trinity to better serve the community in which it resides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
