2. Less May Be More
- Science education relies too little on student investigations of real and
simulated systems.
- And too much on memorization and formal methods.
- The use of labs is declining alarmingly.
- The excessive number of standards, the culture of standardized tests, and
the encyclopedic texts all push teachers to "cover" large numbers of
topics superficially.
- Students need more time to explore fewer core topics in depth.
