Science has advanced enormously in the past 500 years, guided by experimental tests of theory and practice. In that same time, science teaching and education—guided primarily by tradition and dogma—has remained largely medieval.
Join us on Thursday, August 17, at 7:00 p.m. ET for a Skeptical Inquirer Presents livestream with Carl Wieman. The Nobel Prize-winner will discuss research from university classrooms that reveals how traditional teaching fails to give students an understanding of scientific knowledge and the nature of science itself and can even support the development of anti-science beliefs. However, that same research also reveals how to improve science teaching, offering lessons on how to provide all students with the quality of science education so critically needed in the modern world.
