Tuesday, October 28, 7:00 pm. Philip Bell, associate professor of learning sciences, gave a special lecture for the UW Alumni Association and the UW College of Education entitled “Pathways to Excellence and Equity in Science, Math and Engineering Education”.
People learn about science and math in a wide range of settings; classrooms, homes, online communities. As such, education needs to be understood as taking place across a wide range of associated institutions; schools, families, after school clubs. Dr. Bell examined why these institutions should provide youth with a broad set of life opportunities and choices associated with science and math learning.
