[Crosstalk] xTalks: Carl Wieman speaks MONDAY, May 19

[Molly Ruggles]

Good day,

Our last xTalk of the season will be this Monday…
 
Nobel Laureate and MIT alum Carl Wieman will speak on Expertise in Science & Engineering, How it is Learned & Taught, on 5/19 @ 11 am, rm 3-270.  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. (This event is co-sponsored with MIT Science Policy Initiative.)
