Reinvention Center Conference Proposal: Infusing Research into Undergraduate Education: The Value Added; November 18-19, 2004

该奖项将支持由再发明中心组织的“将研究注入本科教育：增值”会议。 会议将于2004年11月18日至19日举行，将汇集大学教师，高级管理人员和研究生：1）提炼和阐明研究型大学可以提供的本科教育的独特特征，并展示这种教育的“附加值”; 2）研究可以付诸实践以实现真正转型的具体策略和技术;第三章推动研究型大学努力培养一种心态，以各种方式推动其研究活动进入本科教育4）使教师和研究生了解现有的大量学习文献及其潜在的应用，以加强学习研究和教学之间的联系;和5）引发广泛的讨论和行动，以解决知识的变化状态和本科生人口统计学对未来研究教育的影响高校 可提供的资料将包括会议记录的出版物;成功的综合课程和方案的网上清单;以及关于在一系列教育背景和学科中有效应用学习原则的“资源”的网上汇编。 数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室为该奖项提供资金，并得到MPS五个部门的共同资助：化学，数学科学，材料研究，物理和天文科学。

This award will support a conference organized by the Reinvention Center on "Infusing Research into Undergraduate Education: The Value Added". The Conference will be held on November 18-19, 2004, and will bring together university faculty, senior administrators, and graduate students to: 1) Distill and articulate the distinct characteristics of the undergraduate education that research universities can offer and to demonstrate the "value added" of such an education; 2) Examine specific strategies and techniques that can be put into practice to achieve genuine transformation; 3) Advance the efforts of research universities to foster a frame of mind that drives their research activities to their undergraduate education in ways that impact their large and diverse populations; 4) Make faculty and graduate students aware of the substantial literature on learning that now exists and its potential applications in order to strengthen connections between research on learning and instruction; and 5) Provoke widespread discussion and action to address the implications the changing state of knowledge and the demography of the undergraduate population have for future education at research universities. Deliverables will include publication of the conference proceedings; a Web-based inventory of successful integrative courses and programs; and a Web-based compilation of "Resources" on effective application of principles of learning in a range of educational contexts and disciplines. The Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematics and Physical Sciences Directorate funds this award with cofunding support from the five MPS divisions: Chemistry, Mathematical Sciences, Materials Research, Physics and Astronomical Sciences.
