RESEARCH
From artificial intelligence to assistive technology and rural education to educational assessment and beyond, the Purdue College of Education’s research interests are shaping the future of education.
Discovering and Developing Human Potential
A community of learners dedicated to research, the College of Education is equally driven to use that knowledge to transform learning. We look for the connections between theory and practice, between science, technology and the humanities. Part of a public land-grant university, we are committed to using our scholarship to launch the future of education for all learners.
AI & Data Science
Transforming Learning and Teaching
We offer courses, graduate certificates, and degree programs that provide training for students in the analyses of large sets of numerical, textual, and multimodal data and practical applications of AI tools. In addition, we are leveraging our comparative advantage in P-12 education to provide professional development and training to our school-based colleagues. The College is home to faculty scholars, centers and funded grant projects engaged in interdisciplinary research to leverage AI tools and to collect and analyze data that seeks to transform learning and teaching, inform policy and make a difference in the lives of culturally and linguistically diverse students, families and communities.
