Hi folks--

I'm working on an article about "transfer" and I need your help. I'm
exploring a common assumption that knowledge learned in school is useful in
everyday life. I found a body of research of testing use of school math in
everyday life (by Lave, Nunes, and others). Do you know any similar research
in writing and science?

I'd appreciate your help,

Eugene
