i think Christakis is right on here -
which for me emphasizes the importance to teacher research / action research as an important and necessary aspect to teacher education:
New social science departments could also help to better train students by engaging in new types of pedagogy. For example, in the natural sciences, even college freshmen do laboratory experiments. Why is this rare in the social sciences? When students learn about social phenomena, why don't they go to the lab to examine them - how markets reach equilibrium, how people cooperate, how social ties are formed? Newly invented tools make this feasible. It is now possible to use the Internet to enlist thousands of people to participate in randomized experiments. This seems radical only because our current social science departments weren't organized to teach this way.
thanks, Peter, for bringing this to our attention - it did escape me that day when i read the NYT.
