I would also add that different students learn in different ways. For example, mainstream math education in the US is very outcome/test-based. Does anyone know if there are more exploratory-oriented methods of teaching math? Project-based rather than test based?
I'm not an educator, but an observer with a particular interest in teaching hard science/math/cs subjects to people who are not naturally talented at them.
Based on what I've read of neuroscience and our deepening understanding of the way the brain works, I suspect it's possible, but requires an entirely different way of going about it than currently. Anyone know of any research in this area?
