Research Overview
|
a) Expand upon the previous and noteworthy research-related and scholarly achievements at the Curry School. b) Assist an already accomplished and dedicated group of faculty and graduate students in their pursuit of an even higher level of research excellence and productivity in the education sciences. While ongoing and planned research activities cover a wide range of topics, the work as a whole is directed toward the School’s overarching themes of discovery, creativity, and change. In addition, a large percentage of these projects consist of interdisciplinary efforts in collaboration with faculty representing numerous other departments and colleges at U.Va. The School’s rapidly developing evidenced-based approach to educational policy and practice are evident in its increased emphasis on the importance of scholarship and external funding with respect to a broad array of educational activities and initiatives. These efforts have been validated by the Curry School’s recent acceptance as a member institution of the Learning and Education Academic Research Network (LEARN), a coalition of the nation’s leading research colleges of education. This site is divided into several sections to facilitate ease of accessing various forms of research-related information by different audiences. The Curry Education Research Lectureship SeriesThis series is designed to provide faculty and students from the Curry School and other UVa colleges with interesting and accessible presentations by outstanding scholars representing a variety of disciplines whose research is making important contributions to the education sciences. In addition, we hope this series will highlight the growing importance of evidence-based approaches to education and inform the broader UVa community as to the breadth, rigor, and significance of contemporary educational research. Finally, in bringing these prominent speakers from across the nation to spend a day or two interacting with our faculty and students, we offer them the opportunity to become better acquainted with the diversity and high quality of educational research activities being carried out at the Curry School.
