·
Examining the
obstacles to science literacy for all students at all levels with emphasis
placed on the roots of misunderstandings from a variety of sources such as pre
/misconceptions, pseudoscience, mass media portrayals of bad science,
inaccurate science teaching and texts, culturally and socially rooted
communication issues among others.
·
Developing the
integrated network for Curriculum and
Learning Assessment Studies (CLASS) project that includes an open-access
online web page for collaboration and dissemination of work. There is also an annual conference dealing with STEM, Literacy, & Learning Assessment
Systems and a peer-reviewed online journal (CLASS Review).

X Most Significant Contribution to Field
Research
During my time at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), my most
significant contributions to the field of education are my thesis for my post
doctoral Masters at Teacher’s College,
Pedagogy
It
is my belief that education must be more than the dispensation of facts and
ideas through lecturing. An educator
must be a leader and manager, guiding the learning process and facilitating the
students’ own experience of learning. By allowing the students to work through
problems and experience the learning process for themselves, they not only
employ facts and tools, but also apply the tools they learn to the facts and
ideas underlying any situation. In the
end, students should be given knowledge and understanding for use in classes
and in their everyday lives. Without
this outlook, education is nothing more than memorization and will be quickly
discarded by those forced to live through it.
If students can be given a method for thinking about ideas, examining
situations, solving problems, and using tools, the educational process has
succeeded in educating them for life.
