Doctor of Science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Doctor of Science (Latin: Scientiæ Doctor), usually abbreviated D.Sc., Sc.D, S.D. or Dr.Sc., is an academic research degree awarded in a number of countries throughout the world. In some countries (such as the United States, Poland and Brazil) it is equivalent to the Ph.D., while in others (such as the UK, Ireland, the Czech Republic and several Commonwealth countries) it is a 'higher doctorate' awarded in recognition of a substantial and sustained contribution to scientific knowledge.

Doctor of Letters (Latin: Litterarum doctor; D.Litt.; or Litt. D.) is a university academic degree.

In the United Kingdom, Australia, India and certain other countries, the degree is a higher doctorate, above the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), and is issued on the basis of a long record of research and publication. The degree D.Litt. is awarded to candidates whose record of published work and research shows conspicuous ability and originality and constitutes a distinguished and sustained achievement. University committee and board approval is required, and candidates must provide documented mastery of a particular area or field.

Evident, fie D.Sc. fie D.Litt. in functie de specializarea in care are titlul respectiv. Probabil in contextul asta trebuie date ambele, ca doar e posibil sa fie ori una ori alta

"Doctor docent" in limba romana este un titlu stiintific. Titlurile stiintifice au evident relevanta si in domeniul educatiei, mai ales la nivel universitar, dar nu sunt identice cu gradele didactice.
In limba engleza, cuvantul "docent" este similar unui grad didactic la nivel universitar, inferior celui de profesor, probabil undeva la nivel lector/conf de la noi. "Docent" in limba engleza NU este un titlu stiintific. Asadar, parerea mea este ca nu se poate traduce docent (ro) cu docent (en) pentru ca nu se refera la acelasi lucru.

Cuvantul docent nu se foloseste in liba engleza. Dupa Ph.D. se pune calificarea de exemplu"in science".

Si sa nu uitam cuvantul docent se folosea pe vremea comunista. Nici la noi in tara nu se mai foloseste atat de des.
