"Taking a scientific approach to math and science education"

Guided by experimental tests of theory, science has advanced rapidly
in the past 500 years. Guided primarily by tradition and dogma,
science and math education meanwhile has remained largely
medieval. Research on the nature of expertise and how people learn is
now revealing much more effective ways to teach and evaluate learning
than what is in use in the traditional undergraduate science or math
class.  These more effective methods offer the potential for achieving
greatly improved learning for all students by better utilizing the
subject expertise of the instructors.
