What is it about?
The introduction provides a brief overview of Michelene Chi's research up to 2021 with the talk focused on three core questions: (1) why decades of research have made only minor impacts on classroom teaching and learning, (2) whether this is a problem of diagnoses or application, and (3) what can be done, at this point in history, to close the gap between research findings and classroom implementation.

Perspectives
The introduction written my the author serves as an annotated history which may entice those unfamiliar with her work to dig deeper into Professor Chi's various threads. It also provides an instructive glance at the ways in which a lifetime of research changes and progresses throughout that lifetime.
