Interviewing Teachers on Crayfish Use

[IISG ICC]

Invasive Crayfish Collaborators,

I wanted to share an opportunity that might be of interest to grades 3-12 science teachers in the Great Lakes region who use live crayfish in their classrooms. Please share this opportunity with any teachers you know who may find it relevant:

Izzy Paulsen, a Sea Grant-funded master's student at Purdue University, is conducting research on the motivations of teachers using live crayfish in classrooms. As part of her thesis, she is interviewing science teachers (grades 3-12) who have used live crayfish in their classes. Interviews last around one hour and are conducted online or over the phone. Participants will receive a $40 Venmo payment or check for their time. 

To participate in these interviews, please complete this interest form. You're welcome to share this link with others who may be interested!

 

Participation is entirely voluntary, and teachers can skip any questions they're not comfortable answering. The study has been reviewed by the Purdue Institutional Review Board, and the researchers will protect your confidentiality in accordance with IRB policies.

 

For any questions about the study or interview process, please contact Izzy Paulsen at ipau...@purdue.edu or the PI of the study, Dr. Stuart Carlton, at carl...@purdue.edu.

Best,

Natalia Szklaruk
