As string researchers teaching in the 21st Century, we need to better understand what it is we need to teach and how best to teach it. We also need to think about our current string research and determine how it can best be aligned with our current pedagogy, what reinforces the theoretical function of these pedagogic ideas and how they relate to one another. In addition, we also need to recommend the best teaching strategies through systematic analysis and research, which can provide sound and efficient pedagogic alternatives for string teachers.
