How to Reform Scientific Practice, Scientific Education
Dewey was a famous educational theorist. He modeled his whole theory of education on what he took to be a more realistic model of scientific inquiry is done. The idea would be you sort of give people problems, materials with which to solve those problems and space to reflect on what they're doing as they're doing it. In the process of doing this, you're going to learn a bunch of facts about scientific inquiry because in some sense science is that kind of activity but scaled up and in much more communication with people. It's way more fun learning all that.
