TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed current research and problems in math, science and engineering education and concepts of thinking and learning are discussed in terms of psychometrics, including systems models for learning, the teaching environment, and learner-teacher interaction.
Abstract: Current research and problems in math, science and engineering education are reviewed and concepts of thinking and learning are discussed in terms of psychometrics. Systems models for learning, the teaching environment, and learner-teacher interaction are presented and discussed. An approach to assessment, enabling the teacher to use personally preferred measurement criteria, is offered as is strong argument in favor of using simulation in engineering and science education. Assessment methodology is discussed.

TL;DR: The analysis of the various factors delimiting the given technological possibilities and the investigation of the processes leading to the realization of a certain selection of these possibilities brings the technical and the social aspect together.
Abstract: A conceptual framework for the analysis of various aspects of technology is indicated. The following points are discussed in succession: Science and technology, the transformation of input variables into output variables, technology as a means, the quasi-autonomy of technological progress. The analysis of the various factors delimiting the given technological possibilities and the investigation of the processes leading to the realization of a certain selection of these possibilities brings the technical and the social aspect together. In this way the assessment implied in the choice among alternative ways of instrumental action becomes evident, and the application of a certain technology can be reconstructed as resulting from a complex social decision.
