2020 Conference on Question Formulation Technique in Higher Education

该奖项将为在东北大学举行的为期一天的会议提供支持。研讨会将召集思想领袖、研究人员、讲师和高等教育从业人员，学习如何使用正确问题研究所开发的问题制定技术（QFT），在学术研究环境中更有效地教授问题制定技能。研讨会的具体目标包括：1）为高等教育从业者提供QFT的实践经验。2）在学术研究环境中增加QFT的传播。3）建立一个侧重于发展问题拟订技能的教育工作者网络，该讲习班将协助建立一个致力于实施新方法的从业人员社区，以培训学者拟订具有重大社会影响潜力的研究问题。QFT实施的成功规模通过催化解决紧迫的社会挑战和需求的研究方向提供了更广泛影响的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will provide support for a one-day conference to be held at Northeastern University. The workshop will convene thought leaders, researchers, lecturers, and practitioners in higher education to learn how to more effectively teach the skill of question formulation in academic research settings, using the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) developed by the Right Question Institute.Specific goals of the workshop include:1) Provide a hands-on experience of the QFT to practitioners in higher education.2) Increase dissemination of the QFT in academic research settings.3) Build a network of educators focused on developing question formulation skills.This workshop will assist in building a community of practitioners committed to implementing new approaches for training academics to formulate research questions with substantive potential for societal impact. Successful scaling of QFT implementation offers the opportunity for broader impacts through catalyzing research directions that address pressing societal challenges and needs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
