Wiki Version:
More than 40 years after Rosenthal's seminal 1979 paper on the file drawer problem and tolerance for null results, recognition of the importance of open science practices has increased. However, studies seeking to assess the extent of progress in the so-called "crisis" in transparency and replication almost without fail find it to be a major and ongoing problem across a variety of disciplines. While some subfields, collaborations, and programs have demonstrated major progress in this area, it is uneven at best, even in fields like psychology and health science where concerns with transparency, reproducibility and evidence synthesis have been central to disciplinary conversations for some time. We argue that widespread progress toward open and cumulative science will require (among other things) a paradigm shift in graduate research methodology training of comparable breadth and scope to the shift from manual calculations of statistics to statistical software. Workshops, electives, mega-studies, think pieces, and grant-funded model programs at elite institutions can help increase awareness and adoption of open science practices, but for a true cultural shift to occur that normalizes open science practices, they must be treated as an basic expectation for quality research - and to do that requires deep embedding from the very beginning of graduate (and ideally undergraduate) methodology and research practices training. This unconference session will provide space to collaboratively map key requirements for building a path toward normalizing open science best practices among emerging researchers (and thus, eventually among all researchers) in education and related disciplines. Upholding the values of openness, transparency, and cumulative science, the models and resources from this session will be archived openly and shared inclusively across institutions as an OSF project. Potential outcomes include (a) exploring existing opportunities and barriers to integrating OS in core methodology training, (b) sharing existing models, resources, successes, and lessons learned from related initiatives, (c) fostering networks of practice for methods pedagogy reform and (d) identifying opportunities for participants to collaborate in new or existing initiatives. **If you want to participate in building resources immediately, take a look at the [themes from discussion][1] wiki page. If something's missing, please request to be added to this component (not the whole Unconference) as a collaborator or email ndporter@vt.edu. Watch for communication about other ways to stay connected or (if you weren't at the session or didn't complete the survey) email ndporter@vt.edu to be added to future communications.** Jamboard for sharing ideas: Archived in OSF project (no longer editable).
