Wieman will discuss his work on education reform: how cognitive psychology research has illuminated what it means to “think like a scientist or engineer” (i.e. expertise), and how those abilities are developed. In addition, he will connect that work to different teaching methods used in college science and engineering courses and show comparative data on the resulting learning of expertise that is achieved. </font><span style="font-family: Arial;">(This event is co-sponsored with</span><a href="http://www.mitspi.org/" style="font-family: Arial;"> MIT Science Policy Initiative</a>.<span style="font-family: Arial;">)</span></div><div><font color="#0f61c8"><br></font></div><div>For more information about xTalks and next year’s schedule, please visit <a href="http://odl.mit.edu/xtalks">odl.mit.edu/xtalks</a>.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
