"When compared to their traditionally
educated peers, it appears that EIC (Environment as an Integrating Context for learning)
students more effectively master scientific knowledge and skills, and achieve a deeper
understanding of scientific concepts and processes. They are also better able to
discern the connections between what they learn in science and applications in the
real world."
– (Hoody, L. & Lieberman, G. "Closing the Achievement Gap," 1998)
