Research & Publications
My primary research interests include integrated STEM education and technology integration in biology teaching and learning. The most recent research projects include a large scale, longitudinal study of engineering design and practices in K-12 science classes and a study of student discourse in collaborative engineering design groups in elementary and secondary classrooms.
