Education
Dr. Birch has advised me that he would like you to put
before the Executive Committee of the Senate Graduate Studies at its
next meeting the Graduate Program in Chemistry Education.
The chemistry course component needs approval and I will be
pleased to speak on the question of the impending renumbering and
retitling of the courses in education.
For the benefit of any of the committee members who may want
to ask
questions, perhaps you should invite a representative of the
Chemistry Department to attend the meeting.

Attached are course proposals for three new Chemistry
Graduate
Courses,
Chem 600-5, 601-5 and 602-5.
These courses have the approaval of the Chemistry
Department and it is intended that they be offered
only in conjunction with and as "service courses"
for the proposed program in Chemistry Education,
leading to the M.Sc. (Education) degree in the
Faculty of Education. An outline of this program
as it is presently defined is attached for your in-
formation.
Faculty of Science approval of these Chemistry courses
is required so that planning of the Chemistry Education
Program can he finalised by the Faculty of Education.
I.wish to emphasisethat:
a) This proposal. is quite distinct from and does not
overlap with the "Chemical. Education option" in the
M.Sc. degree as offered by the Chemistry Department.
h) The courses 600, 601 and 602 will not be available
for credit to graduate students in the Faculty of Science,
as they are specifically designed for the candidates
in the M.Sc. Ed.) program - practicing teachers.

Graduate Program in Chemistry Education
Introduction
The following brief description of the proposed Graduate
Program in Chemistry Education has been generated as a result of
discussions between the Faculty of Education and the Department of
Chemistry.
The proposed program has not as yet been formally approved
by the Faculty of Education but will be submitted for approval shortly.
The proposed program is designed to provide practicing
teachers with an opportunity to update their knowledge base in the
fields of education and chemistry.
0 ?
Degree to be Awarded
On successful completion of the Graduate Program in Chemistry
Education, a candidate will be awarded the degree of Master of Science
(Education).
Admission Requirements
The Graduate Program in Chemistry Education seeks high calibre
candidates who are interested in improving the quality of educational
practice in their classrooms. Applicants for admission must be practicing
teachers who meet the regular admission requirements to the Faculty of
Education. In addition, any requirements imposed by the Department of
Chemistry must be met.

The Graduate Program in Chemistry Education will have an
initial intake of fifteen students in September, 1972. If fifteen
suitable candidates are not identified, the program will not be
mounted.
(To be
Applications for admission must be made before May 1, 1972. revised)
Applications will be sent to the Faculty of Education for
documentation. A joint Faculty of Education - Department of Chemistry
committee will rule on the admissibility of candidates, with the final
decision for admissibility reserved for the Faculty of Education Graduate
Studies Committee.
Meeting Times
The Graduate Program in Chemistry Education is designed for
practicing teachers whose family and occupational responsibilities
require them to continue employment while they undertake graduate work.
For this reason, meeting times will be Tuesdays and Thursdays commencing
at 4:30 p.m. and continuing through the dinner hour until 9:30 p.m.
Program Content, Sequencing and Staffing
To complete the Graduate Program in Chemistry Education and
to qualify for the M.Sc. (Education) degree, a candidate will be required
to complete a minimum of thirty semester hours of work plus two extended
essays.
Program content, sequencing and staffing for the two year
period is shown on the following pages. It should be noted that all
students must follow the program sequencing that is outlined.

Notes:
1.
Education 801 - Studies in Teacher - Student Interaction and
Curriculum Development.
The focus in this course is on the student's
teaching behaviour In his own classroom. The
student will examine his teaching behaviour
in relationship to teacher-student interaction
and curriculum development.
2.
See Appendix A for details.
-4-
3. Education 805 - Teaching Strategies and Educational Objectives.
In this course, the student will examine the
literature and explore the research on teaching
objectives. On the basis of readings and
discussions, he or she will be helped to formulate
educational objectives and develop teaching
strategies which are appropriate to his or her
educational goals.
4.
See Appendix B for details.
5.
See Appendix C for details.
6.
Extended Essays may be either "education-oriented" or "chemistry-
oriented." The normal expectation would be that
Extended Essay #1 would be "chemistry-oriented"
and Extended Essay
312
would be "education-oriented."
7.
Education .808 - Evaluation of Educational Practice.
This course requires the student to examine and
assess his or her own professional development in
the classroom-as-laboratory. He or she will under-
take investigation of the Impact of his or her
teaching on the behavior of his students, under the
direction of a member of the faculty. This investi-
gation will culminate in the student's final project
report.
Supervisory Committees
Each candidate will have a Supervisory Committee of two members,
one from the Faculty of Education and one from the Department of Chemistry.
Initiation and supervision of each candidate's program will be undertaken
• ?
pursuant to Regulations 5.1 and 5.4 of the Graduate Studies Regulations
for the University.
