摘要
The Chemistry Teaching Fellowship Program (CTFP) is offered to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the University of Toronto as an opportunity to undertake curriculum development and chemistry education research. Projects are run with faculty supervision and focus on designing new laboratory activities, lectures, tutorials, workshops, and assignments. Since its launch in 2002, many CTFP projects have been implemented in the departmental undergraduate curriculum, and several have been published in this Journal. The structure and history of the CTFP and its impact on undergraduate education and graduate student professional development is discussed in this paper, with a selection of projects highlighted as case studies. The CTFP provides a successful model of curriculum renewal that can easily be incorporated into other chemistry departments.
