We (CRISTaL) are a group of UNH faculty who focus on DBER. That stands for Disciplinary-Based Education Research. This is research that is grounded in a particular discipline, like chemistry, biology, physics, or mathematics, but which focuses on the unique issues of learning and teaching within that discipline. This research area was recognized and highlighted in a recent National Research Council report  “Disciplinary Based Education Research” (National Academy Press, 2012). For decades, the University of New Hampshire has welcomed and supported such scholarly activity.
