Until recently, however, research in cognitive development and education followed largely independent tracks. A major exception to this trend is represented in the multifaceted work of David Klahr. His lifelong effort to integrate a detailed understanding of children amp rsquo s reasoning and skill acquisition with the role of education in influencing and facilitating scientific exploration has been essential to the growth of these fields.
In this volume, a diverse group of stellar contributors discuss such wide-ranging ideas as the evolution of amp ldquo folk science amp rdquo in young children and the mechanisms that underlie mathematical understanding, as well as mental models used by children in classroom activities.
The volume amp rsquo s lessons will have profound implications for STEM education, and for the next generation of scientists.

About the Author
Dr. Carver earned an AB in psychology from Princeton University and a PhD in psychology from Carnegie Mellon University, where her advisor was David Klahr.
Dr. Carver's research focus is on the explicit specification of learning goals, the alignment of instruction and assessment with those goals, and the application of diverse teaching strategies to facilitate transfer. She seeks to enhance the reciprocal impact of theory and research in multiple disciplines to strengthen the learning of children, educators, families, university students, and researchers.
Jeff Shrager, PhD, is a consulting associate professor of symbolic systems at Stanford University, and chief technological officer of CollabRx, Inc., a biomedical informatics startup.
A computational psychologist of science, Dr. Shrager seeks to understand how science works and to build human amp ndash computer networks that facilitate scientific discovery.
Dr. Shrager holds degrees in computer science and cognitive and developmental psychology from The University of Pennsylvania and Carnegie Mellon University, respectively, and has conducted research in cognitive and developmental neuroscience, informal science education, scientific computing, human learning, artificial intelligence, molecular microbial marine biology and genomics, nonlinear mathematics, and many other areas.
