Hi everyone,

There's a book put out recently by the National Research Council that has some valuable insights about how people best learn science (and other subjects).

"How People Learn: Bridging Research and Practice." (1999)

It can be read on-line at: http://books.nap.edu/html/howpeople2/

We've been discussing it in Center for Science Education meetings, and many of the ideas support the approaches to teaching science that we've been talking about on this list.
