Seeking Input on joint assignment Tenure Track Position

Hi all,

We are looking for input on a joint tenured/tenure track position in chemical education that we will be offering at UALR.  This is a joint assignment between an academic department (chemistry) and a service oriented unit (STEM center). Have any other schools offered similar joint positions in chemical education? If you have any experience with this this type of position I would really appreciate it if you could contact me in private, Bob Belford, rebelford@ualr.edu .

Welcome

Welcome to the Chemistry Education Research (CER) Committee webpage. This site is intended to be a collection of information and resources for chemistry education research. This is intended to a resource for the community, and as such, we encourage your comments, suggestions, and contributions to continually update and improve this site.

Overview of Chemical Education Research (CER)

As identified by the NRC Report on Discipline-Based Education Research (NRC, 2012), “the goals of DBER are to:

  • understand how people learn the concepts, practices, and ways of thinking of science and engineering;
  • understand the nature and development of expertise in a discipline;
  • help identify and measure appropriate learning objectives and instructional approaches that advance students toward those objectives;
  • contribute to the knowledge base in a way that can guide the translation of DBER findings to classroom practice; and

YCES Events at ACS NOLA

The Younger Chemistry Education Scholars (YCES) committee has a few events that will probably be of interest to many graduate students at ACS in a few days. Please click on the CER link to access the flier for more information and we hope to see you at these events!

Sincerely,

Younger Chemistry Education Scholars
