Students' learning-difficulties have to do with how students respond to instructors, classes, lectures, assignments, subject matter, personal implications of content, etc. Students's learning difficulties also have to do with what the students bring to class in the way of personal backgrounds, experiences, dysfunctional families, dysfunctional communities, etc. The realities which are at the roots of students' learning difficulties are rarely objective realities and rarely have to do with objective relationships. Scientists who in graduate schools were taught to focus their attention exclusively upon objective objects and objective relationships are not equipped to deal with their students' learning difficulties. To improve science education it is essential to widen the scope of foci of graduate students in science graduate schools so that future science teachers will be properly equipped to deal with their students' learning difficulties.
