- Fred Keller and PSI
The technology of VCR's, nuclear power, and microwaves is what most of us think of when we think about the modern impact of science. But behavioral science can, and has, produced another kind of technology, instructional technology, that could have just as big an impact on us as thing technology.

- Situated Learning (J. Lave)
Lave argues that learning as it normally occurs is a function of the activity,
context and culture in which it occurs (i.e., it is situated). This contrasts with
most classroom learning activities which involve knowledge which is abstract
and out of context.

- What Does it Mean to be a Research-Based Profession?
Research currently plays an
extraordinarily weak role in educational
decision-making. From Mount Olympus the gods in ancient Greek mythology
controlled the events affecting the lives of humans living below. As Lovely tells it, modern education is not much different.
The system provides more incentives for
faddism than for the development of
practices that get results. The mechanisms
for distinguishing expensive fads that
fail from practices that produce visible
results are weak and ineffective.
