Current Projects

Our published work is nicely summarized in the word cloud above (created using this website). To build from that work, we have many ongoing projects in the lab that revolve around learning and understanding how to make opportunities for learning more equitable. Click on the links below to learn more about the ongoing projects in the lab:

• Investigating the impact of metacognitive supports on students’ mathematics knowledge and motivation in MATHia
• Identifying and promoting mechanisms that foster a sense of belonging and self-efficacy via Learning Assistants in STEM courses
• Capturing student’s learning/study strategy use
• Supporting students in applying effective learning/study strategies through different instructional techniques

You’ll notice we use the phrase “learning/study strategies” quite often. We conceptualize learning/study strategies to involve any metacognitive, cognitive, or motivational strategies teachers use to support their students’ learning or students use implement to guide their learning.
