This document presents a series of scenarios depicting the current status of schools, colleges, and departments of education (SCDEs) in respect to knowledge production and utilization (KPU) activities. Data was obtained from 135 SCDEs through institutional and faculty questionnaires and a KPU productivity study. Twelve institutional types, based upon degree level offered in education, institutional control, and likely involvement in KPU activity provide the framework for data reporting. Each of the institutional types are described according to demographic characteristics, perceptions of institutional mission, organizational arrangements supportive of KPU activities, and KPU productivity. An enormous variation in terms of these four items exists, with commitment to KPU activities being confined to doctoral-level institutions. The imbalance between KPU producers and nonproducers seems unlikely to be resolved without massive external intervention. (MB)
