Cognitive Science and Science Education
" The quality of science education, like mathematics education, is a pervasive concern in educational improvement efforts. The cognitive orientation to the teaching of subject matter provides the context for Carey" s discussion of science education. This orientation begins with the idea that to understand something, one must integrate it with already existing knowledge schemata. The paradox of ...
متن کاملThe Impending Revolution in Undergraduate Science Education
There is substantial evidence that scientific teaching in the sciences, i.e. teaching that employs instructional strategies that encourage undergraduates to become actively engaged in their own learning, can produce levels of understanding, retention and transfer of knowledge that are greater than those resulting from traditional lecture/lab classes. But widespread acceptance by university facu...
متن کاملIntegrating Art and Science in Undergraduate Education
The prevailing vision for undergraduate science education includes increased collaboration among teachers of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and an overhaul of introductory courses [1–4]. But by staying within the borders of STEM, are we overlooking connections between the arts and innovative science? Likewise, are we missing an important opportunity to inspire and inform nonsc...
متن کاملUndergraduate Computational Science and Engineering Education
In many areas of science and engineering, computation has become an equal and indispensable partner, along with theory and experiment, in the quest for knowledge and the advancement of technology. Numerical simulation enables the study of complex systems and natural phenomena that would be too expensive or dangerous, or even impossible, to study by direct experimentation. An increase during the...
متن کاملSpatial Thinking in Undergraduate Science Education
Spatial ability has been dubbed the "Sleeping Giant" in education in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) (Lubinsky, 2010). We know, from research done over the past several decades, that visuospatial thinking is central to the learning and doing of science (see Ramadas, 2009 for a review), and leads to success in many professions related to science and mathematics (Hegarty, ...
