SRRI is a federation of education researchers from various disciplines, departments, and backgrounds. We study multiple facets of teaching, learning, and thinking in science, mathematics, and engineering, at K-12 and university levels.

Modeling Instruction Program (ASU)

http://modeling.asu.edu/

The approach to reform of curriculum design and teaching methodology has been guided by a Modeling Theory of Physics Instruction, the focus of educational research by David Hestenes and collaborators since 1980. Implementation through Modeling Workshops for high school teachers was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation from 1989 to 2005. The documented success of workshops and the enthusiastic response of teachers has stimulated institutionalization and expansion of the program through increased involvement of university physics departments.
