Chemistry education
Better understanding how students learn to develop their chemistry knowledge as well as how they relate this knowledge for their other science courses
The three research projects currently ongoing are:
Developing assessment measures to determine the impact of curriculum transformations.
Investigating the ways in which students use a chemical structure (i.e. Lewis structure) to predict a compound's macroscopic properties (i.e. reactivity and acidity/basicity).
Exploring the connections students make between their chemistry, biology, and physics courses.
