Guiding Questions for the Discussion:
|
|
|
|
1) What are the assumptions driving the design and organization of graduate education? What aspects of graduate education in the sciences ought to change, why, and in what ways? What are the systemic issues/assumptions deserving of our most immediate attention?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Is the current organization of graduate education in the sciences matching the needs of industry, education, research, government, and business? What are we trying to produce? Is it what is needed given workforce needs? Are students prepared for the jobs they take?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) What alternative models of graduate education are being considered or implemented? What do we know about the success of these alternative models?

|
Guiding Questions for the Discussion:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) What is the status of research-based instructional innovations in undergraduate physics/biology/chemistry? Where are efforts focused (area of the discipline, pedagogy, assessment)? Where have the most significant gains in discipline-based research in these disciplines been made?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Where is research on instruction discussed, presented, and published? How do research-based innovations in your discipline spread among undergraduate faculty? What from your perspective sustains pockets of innovation and institutionalization of those innovations?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) What institutional and occupational factors facilitate or constrain research on instruction in physics/biology/chemistry education?
