Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning

该中心的研究，教学和学习（CIRTL）在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的整合，与密歇根州立大学和宾夕法尼亚州立大学合作，正在创建一个跨学科的计划，准备研究生，博士后研究人员和目前的教师，以满足STEM高等教育的挑战。 这个高等教育中心的学习和教学是基于教学研究的概念，使未来和当前的干教师从事教学，他们在他们从事研究的方式相同。 该项目将教学研究和跨学科学习社区整合到一个专业发展计划中，该计划旨在解决当前和未来教师的教育责任。 专业发展计划包括一门课程，为教学研究和改进课堂实践，非正式教育和教学材料开发中的体验式学习，各种学习环境中的实习以及为不同学生群体的教学和学习做准备奠定基础。研究部分的重点是促进中学后STEM教学和学习的最佳实践，促进STEM毕业生通过教师文化的变化，并在部门和大学之间转移成功的战略。 通过国家实施专业发展计划，CIRTL预计每年将为大约2，000名STEM研究生和博士后研究人员提供服务，同时在10所研究型大学（占美国主要研究生机构的10%）为研究生建立学习社区。 该项目由教育和人力资源局本科教育处和数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室共同资助。

The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in collaboration with Michigan State University and Pennsylvania State University, is creating an interdisciplinary program to prepare graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and current faculty to meet the challenges of STEM higher education. This Higher Education Center for Learning and Teaching is based on a teaching-as-research concept that enables future and current STEM faculty to engage in teaching in the same way they engage in their research. The project integrates teaching-as-research and interdisciplinary learning communities in a professional development program that addresses the educational responsibilities of current and future faculty. The professional development program includes a curriculum that provides a foundation for teaching-as-research and improved classroom practice, experiential learning in informal education and instructional materials development, internships in a variety of learning environments, and preparation for teaching and learning with diverse student populations. The focus of the research component is on promoting best practices in post-secondary STEM teaching and learning, fostering change in STEM graduate-through-faculty cultures, and transferring successful strategies between departments and across universities. Through national implementation of the professional development program, CIRTL is expected to serve approximately 2,000 STEM graduate students and post-doctoral researchers annually while establishing learning communities for graduates-through-faculty at 10 research universities representing 10% of the major U.S. graduate institutions. This project is jointly funded by the Division of Undergraduate Education in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
