"The whole process of learning has turned out to be far more complex than most imagined, and I believe that science educators are struggling to find a new, more effective approach to the complexity. This volume will catalyze new research efforts and interdisciplinary communication by encouraging participants in cognitive psychology, the history and philosophy of science, and science education to view their respective research areas from a broader perspective." — William W. Cobern, Arizona State University
