化学哲学博士-化学教育

博士 化学教育选修课程是为计划在科学与教育界进行职业规划（例如，基于学科的教育研究，教育计划评估，STEM课程设计，化学教学等）的学生而设计的。严格的计划涉及化学，心理学和教育方面的课程工作，以及化学教育方面的原创性研究，从而导致了论文的提交。具有研究型MS（或同等学历）的学生将直接被录取。拥有学士学位（或同等学历）的学生将首先获得硕士学位，与导师一起进行基于实验室的原始研究，然后提交论文。该计划的重点是发展强大的写作和口头交流能力。通常可以通过助教获得财务支持。
Our purpose is to prepare professionals who will change the field of teaching and learning in chemistry.This requires developing a deep knowledge of chemistry, fluency with the literature and methods of education,and skill with research tools from the cognitive and social sciences. You will be prepared for careers involving college-level chemistry teaching, STEM curriculum design, student assessment and STEM professional development. You will conduct original research leading to submission of a dissertation, and develop strong written and oral communication skills necessary for advanced work in education, research and academia.<br><br>The Ph.D. Option in Chemistry Education is designed for students who plan a career at the interface of Science and Education (e.g. discipline-based education research, educational program assessment, STEM curricular design, chemistry teaching, etc.). The rigorous program involves coursework in Chemistry, Psychology and Education and original research in Chemistry Education, leading to the submission of a dissertation. Students with a research-based MS (or equivalent) will be admitted directly to the program. Students with a BS (or equivalent) will first obtain an MS degree, carrying out original laboratory-based research with a faculty mentor, and submitting a thesis. The program has a focus on developing strong writing and oral communication skills. Financial support is typically available through a teaching assistantship.
