The Ralph W. Tyler Award
For Outstanding and Distinguished Research and Publication in the Field of Cooperative Education and Internships
Ralph W. Tyler was the Director of the Center for Advanced Studies in The Behavioral Sciences in Stanford, California. In 1958, he chaired a two-year national study of cooperative education, which was the first national study that identified the values resulting from student participation in cooperative education.
The Cooperative Education and Internship Association gives the Ralph W. Tyler Award for outstanding and distinguished scholarly research and publication in the field of cooperative education, internships, and work-integrated learning (WIL). Outstanding and distinguished scholarly research represents empirical work that provides new knowledge, understanding, and/or enhancement of cooperative education, internships, and WIL at the post-secondary level.
Awards can be given in one of two categories – published articles in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal or a book. Reviews, textbooks, edited books, and graduate thesis work will generally not be considered.
