The Private Eye Project is a research based educational program created by Kerry Ruef in 1988. It is designed to accelerate student learning by the development of critical thinking skills, creativity and scientific literacy. Some of the main themes are "close observation", "thinking by analogy", "hands-on investigation", "changing scale", and "theorizing". The first three and one half years were grant-funded by the Discuren Charitable Foundation and piloted in the Seattle Public Schools.[1]
As of October 2010, The Private Eye Project has been used by thousands of teachers and over 3 million students.[2] And, it has been recognized positively by many University department directors, professors, and professional scientists, as well as numerous teachers and administrators.[3] The methodology of The Private Eye Project is sometimes referenced in discussions of creativity and critical thinking.[4][additional citation(s) needed]
