Comment on TEDxTriangle: Old techniques and new technology to harness ideas by Andrew Hutzel

Andrew Hutzel — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:10:05 +0000

TEDxTriangle was a joy to attend! I so enjoyed hearing Phaedra Boinodiris explain the grand potential games have, how they can produce useful results and skills in addition to entertainment. And August Turak’s speech about transformational organizations was particularly inspiring. We need more real world implementations of both of these ideas, especially the latter which I think will change the world. Many thanks to the organizers, to our wonderful master of ceremonies Zach, and to the speakers!

It depends on the university. At some schools, there are departments of science education within faculties of science. At other schools, they reside in the college of education. Let me know if I could ever help you locate someone with particular interests.

Excellent point, thanks for bringing this up. Where do I look within the university system to find someone who researches this? (Colleges of education, for example, or liberal arts and science? Where is this sort of research typically housed?)

Hi DeLene – Thanks for the interesting thoughts regarding STEM challenges. Can I just jump in though to note that the major missing players in these discussions often seem to be science education researchers. We are dedicated to researching, exploring and understanding how people of all ages understand science and why they do or do not pursue it as an interest or career. For example, we examine teaching strategies in high schools that contribute to persistence in college physics. We research the impact of out-of-school outreach programs on student interest in science. We ask which support systems in graduate schools contribute to success and completion. Unfortunately we often get left out of these conversations.
