Dr. Ariel Anbar - Teaching and Learning the Process of Science

Ronald Beghetto talks with Ariel Anbar about his work with science teaching and learning, and if done right, how this can empower nonscientists for their whole life in how they access and understand information. They discuss the recent “bad rep” that science has received during the COVID-era, and Anbar explains how the real process of science is an ongoing set of observations and interpretations which leads to continuous tests and iterations, as recommendations improve with greater knowledge. Anbar also mentions his work on creating and using interactive digital technologies, which immerses students in virtual field trips based on what they are learning. He imagines more of this type of interactive digital learning technology in the future which will meet learners where they are, and get them to where they need to go in their science education journey.
