研究领域

Educational and Teacher Preparation

Chemical Education Research

The focal point of our work is the study, reflection, and improvement of chemistry education and science teacher preparation. In particular, we have directed our research at trying to characterize the conceptual frameworks and the patterns of reasoning used by chemistry students to answer questions and solve problems that require qualitative reasoning (e.g., classification, prediction, inference, comparison). We are also exploring how students' ideas and reasoning strategies evolve as they develop more expertise in the discipline (trajectories of expertise). These studies are of central importance not only to design learning progressions that foster meaningful learning but also to improve the preparation of future chemistry teachers through the development of their assessment thinking. Current areas of interest include:

Common sense reasoning in chemistry;

Learning progressions and trajectories of expertise in chemistry;

Development of teacher assessment reasoning.
