William R. Penuel is professor of learning sciences and human
development in the School of Education at the University of
Colorado Boulder, USA. His current research examines conditions
needed to implement rigorous, responsive, and equitable teaching
practices in science education.With colleagues from across the
country, he is developing and testing new models for supporting
implementation through long-term partnerships between educators and
researchers.
Michael Cole's research focuses on the role of culture in human
development, with a special emphasis on the role of schooling.
Since the early 1980's he has engaged in a series of educational
intervention projects motivated by theories and methodologies ideas
inspired by the work of Russian cultural-historical developmental
psychology, combined with ethnographic methods favored by American
cultural anthropologists. Relevant publications describing this
work include Cultural Psychology (1996) and The Fifth Dimension: An
afterschool program built on diversity (2006).
D. Kevin O’Neill is Associate Professor of Education and Technology
at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. The main
focus of his research for the past decade and a half has been the
teaching and learning of history with the aid of digital
technologies. A more recent focus of his scholarship has been
critique of design-based research methodology, and lessons that
learning scientists can learn from design in other fields, such as
aeronautics and architecture.
