The MU Math Study
Dr. David Geary; University of Missouri
From the MU Math Study: "We study questions like "What makes learning math harder for some children than others?" and "What are the critical skills that predict success in high school algebra?" Our goal is to better understand how children learn mathematics and why some students have difficulties with this learning. We have been focusing in particular on how children represent, process, and understand key aspects of mathematics, ranging from counting to Arabic numerals to algebraic equations, and on the underlying cognitive systems (e.g., working memory) that support this learning."
Evolutionary Psychology Lab
Dr. Glenn Geher; State University of New York at New Paltz
The EP lab at SUNY New Paltz engages in research on the human condition using evolutionary principles. Under the direction of Dr. Glenn Geher (email) , the lab has explored topics related to evolutionarily informed education as well as human mating psychology, positive evolutionary psychology, estrangements and social transgressions, politics, and more.
OpenEvo
Dr. Susan Hanisch & Dr. Dustin Eirdosh; Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
OpenEvo is an educational innovation lab focused collaborative work from scientists, teachers, and students to reimagine and cultivate a new direction for evolution and sustainability education. The lab's belief is that interdisciplinary perspectives in evolutionary anthropology can empower all humans with a deeper understanding of themselves and their fellow humans as a foundation for creating a more peaceful and sustainable world. OpenEvo has two lab models—Educational Design Lab and Community Science Lab. The design elements of the labs can be adopted independently in any teacher education or school improvement context.
SEED Lab (Schooling, Education, and Evolutionary Development)
Dr. Jessica L. Murray & Kathryne Gruskin, MS; Colgate University and State University of New York at New Paltz
Run by two K-12 NYS-certified teachers (both former and current), the SEED lab conducts applied research connecting evolutionary thinking and educational practices. SEED Lab work draws on theories such as life history theory, the Hidden Talents Framework, primary and secondary knowledge, and evolutionary mismatch. Our focus is actionable strategies at the classroom, school, and systemic levels--across all ages--that work to improve educational outcomes for all students.
