Dr. Hui-Hui Wang’s research focus on STEM integration through Agriculture, Food and Nature Resources (AFNR). STEM integration through AFNR is ensure that STEM knowledge is taught as an AFNR interdisciplinary approach, by using authentic teaching strategies, such as inquiry-based and project-based instruction. Her current research project focuses on K-12 teacher education and cognitive bases of STEM learning (e.g. STEM reasoning), and building a sustainable integrated STEM through AFNR teaching and learning model.
