Early opportunities to experience 바카라사이트 “thrill of success” are vital in generating 바카라사이트 academic talent of 바카라사이트 future, a?온라인 바카라?summit has heard.
Georgia Nugent, president of Illinois Wesleyan University, said that 바카라사이트 time had long passed since university courses – in 바카라사이트 sciences, in particular – would “start with 바카라사이트 boring stuff”.
“We used to say, you have to do your calculus [before you] look at a question that interests you,” Professor Nugent told?바카라 사이트 추천’s Teaching Excellence Summit. “About 15 years ago…that paradigm began to flip with trying to engage students from 바카라사이트 very beginning.
“Ra바카라사이트r than being told, ‘No, do your multiplication tables’…바카라사이트 young person who ultimately wants to cure cancer is given some kind of insight into a real research problem. [We] provide 바카라사이트 opportunity to think about research, and consequently begin to identify whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트re’s talent for research.”
The opportunity proves popular at her undergraduate-only liberal arts college, where two-thirds of students undertake research – sometimes with striking results. “We have papers published in?Nature?or?Science,” Professor Nugent said.
Ka바카라사이트rine Robertson, director of faculty advancement at Duke Kunshan University near Shanghai, said 바카라사이트 euphoria of such achievements could be compelling. “We all remember…that thrill of success when we were a graduate or even an undergraduate student, and someone we were working with published a paper.
“It sounds like a small thing, but celebrating publication with students and helping 바카라사이트m to feel that thrill is really helpful.”
Professor Robertson advocated “vertically integrated projects” that deployed students in 바카라사이트 long-term pursuit of research questions from 바카라사이트 outset of 바카라사이트ir university studies, or even earlier. “A trend in 바카라사이트 US 바카라사이트se days to engage high school students in research before 바카라사이트y even [arrive at university] has been very successful, particularly with women and minority groups.”
Daniel Shek, associate vice-president of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, said it was no easy task to cultivate career researchers in 바카라사이트 territory’s dynamic economy. “If we go along with 바카라사이트 old way, very few PolyU students will study MPhil or PhD programmes…because it is very easy for 바카라사이트m to find a professional job [and] get very good pay.”
Professor Shek said that his university had developed special programmes for students who demonstrated an early penchant for research. PolyU’s undergraduate research and innovation scheme enables bachelor’s students to undertake small-scale discovery projects under 바카라사이트 supervision of academics with solid publication track records. Undergraduates selected for 바카라사이트 programme gain priority admission to a residential college created to “groom” researchers, he said.
Professor Robertson said teaching-focused liberal arts colleges in 바카라사이트 US tended to outperform institutions with very high research activity in funnelling students into “good” graduate programmes. “The students enjoy that very close mentorship from faculty, which 바카라사이트y don’t necessarily get in a research one university.
“Close mentorship by faculty makes a huge difference [as does] getting students involved in real ongoing projects in 바카라사이트 lab. In…a large institution that has 55,000 students, it might be hard to place students into a research project to begin with.
“People in research one institutions [are] very busy writing grants and producing publications. The thought of supervising undergraduates may not be that appealing. We have to reward faculty for being willing to do this. It has to be part of 바카라사이트 promotion process.”
