Notice that I said terminal degree IN THE FIELD.
The Ed.D. may be a terminal degree in the field of education, but it
is not the terminal degree in the field of physics.
I teach at a small college. One of the things that prospective
students (and parents) want to know is whether the courses will
be taught by real "whatever."
Will the history classes be taught by "real historians." In this
context I think "real" means that the person has done and/or is doing
physics research
as opposed to physics education research.
Said another
way, are the courses going to be taught by "practicing physicists"
where
practicing means doing actual physics or having done/published actual
physics
