Individuals participating in panels are usuallybrought together to express a wide range of viewpoints and to combine ideas, research, andexperiences. We see an opportunity to extend panel discussions to have enduring impact bybroadly distributing the data synthesized during the panel discussions. The use of paneldiscussions as a research endeavor has the potential to broaden researchers' ways of knowing, yetknowledge transfer from panel conversations to peer-reviewed publications has to this point beenminimal.This paper highlights a methodology for analyzing panel discussions, discourse content, andpanelist reflection to produce research results

The decision to compartmentalize LGBTQ identitieswithin STEM environments reflects social identity threat posed by a lack of self-concept and/orsocial fit. Given what prior research has indicated about the LGBTQ climate in STEM, then,these environments would be expected to pose more social identity threat than many

Using this method,for the difficult dimension, the model learns to identify words that are more correlated withhigher difficulty ratings but not correlated with quality ratings.From these word lists, two of the authors manually annotated the words that were valid membersof the different dimensions based on fixed criteria. For example, the word “helping” would countas helpful but not clear because helpful words should reflect positive social behavior while clearwords indicate effective communication. Next, we adapt these lists to the original CCE dataset bycomputing the nearest neighbors to the words in each dimension, using word embeddings trainedon the CCE text data [22]. Computing

Nevertheless, for these courses to be effective, they must offer GTAs opportunities tolearn, apply, and reflect on different teaching practices so they develop competencies associatedwith the TPACK domains.
