Resumen
In a recent Chemical and Engineering News, more than 40% of position advertisements for new college chemistry faculty members included a request for candidates to provide a teaching philosophy statement as part of the application file. Another 20% requested a statement of teaching plans or interests. Almost all primarily undergraduate institutions requested a teaching philosophy statement. These statements are included in the application file along with a curriculum vitae, research plans, and letters of reference. As the application files are reviewed by the search committee and other participants in the search process, the teaching philosophy statement is used as part of the evaluation of the potential of the candidate to serve as a faculty member, particularly the candidate's potential as a teacher.
