Because of the overt excitement emerging from this group, a Research and Statistics Seminar was also sponsored during the spring semester of 2007. A faculty member in educational research led bi-monthly seminars focusing on various topics related to quantitative analysis. Approximately 16 faculty members were regular attendees at this forum.
Learning Sciences PhD Program BGSU is developing a proposal for a Learning Sciences PhD program. The interdisciplinary program brings together faculty from multiple departments/units in the Colleges of Education and Arts and Sciences providing expertise in education, science and mathematics content, and learning. The PhD program focuses on preparing new faculty with a research focus on how people learn science and mathematics in a post-secondary setting. This unique program is timely, as faculty positions in science and mathematics education exist, both in the College of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences, and often these positions go unfilled as the demand has far exceeded the supply. The LSC program is designed to meet the needs of this projected shortfall by preparing faculty who can work across disciplines to meet the new challenges of the 21st century. COSMOS faculty are highly involved in the development of this new program and the current COSMOS Director is leading the process. The preliminary document was reviewed by nine Ohio institutions and was modified slightly in light of the recommendations and questions raised. The full proposal is currently in review in various units throughout the university and will be submitted to the Chancellor and the Ohio Board of Regents once university approval is attained. We foresee high levels of collaboration between this doctoral program and COSMOS.
