1998年的Boyer委员会报告主张通过让本科生大规模参与大学的研究任务来改善大型研究型大学的本科教育。在最近由致力于推进博耶尔委员会目标的再造中心主办的一次会议上,与会者讨论了实现这些目标的进展情况和对未来行动的建议。代表生命科学的一个突破性小组得出结论,每个本科生都有独立的研究经验可能不可行或不可取,但将讲座课程转变为更基于探究和互动的形式可以有效地促进委员会的目标。
The 1998 Boyer Commission Report advocated improvement of undergraduate education at large research universities through large-scale participation of undergraduates in the universities' research mission. At a recent conference sponsored by the Reinvention Center, which is dedicated to furthering the goals of the Boyer Commission, participants discussed progress toward these goals and recommendations for future action. A breakout group representing the life sciences concluded that independent research experience for every undergraduate may not be feasible or desirable but that transformation of lecture courses to more inquiry-based and interactive formats can effectively further the Commission's goals.
