ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an analysis of a learning community that formed in a project in science curriculum development at the tertiary level in Vietnam. This Vietnamese Consortium Fellowship Program was funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and delivered through Simon Fraser University (SFU) from 1993 to 1999. The aim of the project was to develop and implement a master of science (MSc) program in science curriculum research for 20 young professors of science selected from among the 11 universities of the consortium to assist in developing an educationally sound, up-to-date basic science curriculum for the initial phase of postsecondary science education in Vietnam.
