I am not suggesting that all universities follow the same model @dailynation
Regardless of the model, student learning should be the priority at a school.
The separation between teaching and research is a false dichotomy @dailynation
how is it false? Professors struggle with the distinction constantly. How many professors have training as teachers?
I was writing with Africa in mind. You're objecting with MIT and Stanford in mind. Hard to discuss @dailynation
your article had many points. My concern is on ensuring student learning remains (or becomes) the priority
Nice to chat. I appreciate your interest in my article @dailynation
also means professors are hired as researchers not because they're great teachers, great at developing skill in Ss
I am not recommending the US model of research universities either @dailynation
can you clarify the distinction? The article made it sound quite similar
We difference reference models in mind. I use Africa's own examples @dailynation
can the research institutes offer PD to professors, include them in parts of projects but still own the Research?
from my own experiences as a student at MIT and Stanford
Ensuring professors have the latest knowledge helps with that goal but research is a distracting approach.
