"Psychology is a real science, They can measure things." So says Mark Guzdial in this post, more than a little tongue-in-cheek, as he tries to draw out the distinction between psychology and education. The post is full of (acknowledged) over-generalizations, but if you all those to be used for effect (which I do here) then I think there's a good, if subtle, point being made. "We're all working on the same problem, but from different directions. Maybe we'll meet somewhere in between. Bring your fMRI data, and I'll grab my course evaluations, and we'll have lunch in Acapulco." But don't try to drive - there's a thing called the Darien Gap.
