| Summary: | The thesis of this paper is that education is badly in need of manpower to focus on solving its persistent social problems; that basic researchers in various universities are not in a position to meet the need nor is changing their role desirable, for it means a loss to basic research, and that training new researchers in graduate school as an inadequate solution for it merely increases the number of basic researchers and leaves the gap between teachers and researchers wide open. What is needed is a change in the role of teacher-educators in colleges and universities. Modifying the job of college teachers in education to one which involves teaching and research should not be construed, however, as an easy matter. It requires changing the philosophy of the colleges, revising their policies and procedures and training their faculty to conduct research. This paper presents a model for introducing the needed changes. The model is a revision of one originally developed and implemented in a Consortium on Research Development (CORD). (Author/HS) |
