Conceptual Learning in Science Group

The Conceptual Learning in Science Group has been engaged in science education research activities since the late 70’s, in the College of Education and the Scientific Reasoning Research Institute, College of Natural Sciences at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Its work has focused on analogies, misconceptions, useful intuitions, creativity and imagery use in expert scientists, model based learning, discussion leading strategies, learning from computer simulations, and other topics. The group is grateful for having been funded virtually continuously during this period through 2018 by the US National Science Foundation.
