The Joint Doctoral Program
UCSD and San Diego State University have created this innovative program
for students who already have a masters degree in biology, chemistry,
mathematics, or physics. In this program, students will complement
their
discipline knowledge with studies of how people learn mathematics and
science. The UCSD Joint Doctoral Group in Mathematics and Science
Education
currently consists of faculty from the Division of Biological Sciences
and the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Cognitive Science,
Communication,
Mathematics,
Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, and Sociology. The SDSU Program faculty
is drawn from the Departments of Biology, Mathematical Sciences,
Natural
Sciences, Physics, Psychology, and the School of Education.
The program includes research, practical applications, and formal
coursework. Students must commit at least four years to the program,
and most students will
complete the program in four to five years. An individualized course
of study will be designed for each student, depending on the students
background and interests.
The graduates of this program will be able to contribute to the developing
body of knowledge about human cognitive processes in mathematics and
science. They will be expected to maintain a strong connection to educational
practice through teaching and application of research results on learning
to instructional situations.
Information regarding admission is found in the current edition of
the Bulletin of the Graduate Division of San Diego State University.
