Basseterre, St.
Kitts, November 26, 2012 (SKNIS):
At a recent
symposium, Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College students and external
research partners showcased their intellectual and artistic research
accomplishments.
Dr. Leighton Naraine, Science Lecturer and Vice Principal at CFBC stated
that research is important to educational institutions such as CFBC and
society.
“As an educational institution we all will know that it is essential
that research become a part of our programme, expressed Dr. Naraine.
“Research must be essential to what we do as an academic institution.
But let me say also, research should not remain as a theoretical
dimension. It really should mean something for society, for science to
mean something for society or for science to be useful it must mean
something to people’s lives and livelihoods. That is why the approach we
take to this research symposium ought to be that we are problem solving,
it leads to innovativeness, creativity and is able to relate to our
communities.”
The annual research symposium represents the CFBC’s tradition of
education through community and is the principle campus wide event in
which faculty and students actualize the institution’s mission to foster
and develop citizens to make life long contributions to the communities,
said Delores Stapleton Harris, Vice
President for Academic and Student Affairs (VPASA) of CFBC.
She added that the main outcome of the symposium should be that faculty
and students of the CFBC will be empowered and enabled to become
competent and confident developers and consumers of research to support
the teaching and learning environment at the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant
College.
“It will also be a call for all stakeholders to step up their efforts
to enhance cooperation and generate funding for research among our
collaborative partners who are the private sector, civil society,
international organizations, NGOs and of course government.”
Topics addressed included An analysis of the Biotic Interactions between
organisms on four different farming ecosystems in St. Kitts and A
Retrospective Study of Teenage Pregnancies by Community Health Districts
in St. Kitts
The CFBC Research Committee aims to motivate and educate students and
faculty on conducting research; conduct and publish scholarly
investigations and to host annual research symposiums to provide a forum
for students, from all academic disciplines, and faculty to present what
they have learned through their research experiences to a larger
audience and to facilitate the discussion of cutting edge research
topics.
