Chemistry Education Research Doctoral Scholars Program

迈阿密大学的化学教育研究(CER)博士生计划正在提供有针对性的回应，以满足在化学方面拥有深厚内容知识的学者的迫切需求，以及进行CER的专门培训。迈阿密大学的CER博士研究生项目培养的是博士生，他们的研究性研究考察了化学课堂和实验室的教与学的基本过程。研究员群体的研究将仪器设计方面的专业知识与大量关于化学误解的文献相结合，从而开发出可靠而有效的学生学习方法，供化学教师和化学教育研究人员使用。迈阿密大学的CER博士研究员计划不仅培养高技能的化学教育研究学者，还提供重要的社区建设经验，这对研究员作为未来化学教师的成功至关重要。对其他化学教育机构的实地考察介绍了以化学教育为特征的高等教育环境的多样性，从本科院校和社区学院到教师准备和化学与教育学院之间的联合任命。研究员作为助教参加本科生化学课程，并培养K-12伙伴关系，以发展教学内容知识。研究员在关键的CER社区接受密集的专业指导，包括专业协会、资助机构、同行评审期刊和国家评估倡议。以全国CER研究生的专业发展为目标的会议，宣传和改善CER研究生教育的文化。

The chemistry education research (CER) Doctoral Fellows Program at Miami University is providing a targeted response to the critical need for scholars with deep content knowledge in chemistry and the specialized training to conduct CER. The CER Doctoral Fellows Program at Miami University prepares Ph.D. scholars whose research studies examine the underlying processes of teaching and learning in both chemistry classrooms and laboratories. Research by the Fellows cohort marries expertise in the design of instruments with the extensive literature on chemistry misconceptions, resulting in the development of reliable and valid measures of student learning for use by both chemistry teachers and chemistry education researchers.The CER Doctoral Fellows Program at Miami University is not only preparing highly skilled scholars in chemistry education research, but is also providing significant community building experiences that are essential to Fellows' success as future chemistry faculty. Site visits to other chemistry education institutions introduce the diversity of higher education settings that characterize chemistry education, from undergraduate institutions and community colleges to teacher preparation and joint appointments between chemistry and schools of education. Fellows participate as teaching associates in undergraduate chemistry courses and cultivate K-12 partnerships in order to develop pedagogical content knowledge. Fellows receive intense professional mentoring into critical CER communities including professional societies, funding agencies, peer-reviewed journals, and national assessment initiatives. Conferences targeted at the professional development of CER graduate students nationwide inform and improve the culture of CER graduate education.
