I am a 25-year veteran high school science teacher, now a teacher educator at ASU. My research interest is in the design of learning environments and participation frameworks that leverage student sense making in science, primarily in physics.

Embodied STEM Learning Across Technology-Based Learning Environments

Arizona State University (ASU)
08/15/2010

This project conducts interdisciplinary research to advance understanding of embodied learning as it applies to STEM topics across a range of current technology-based learning environments (e.g., desktop simulations, interactive whiteboards, and 3D interactive environments). The project has two central research questions: How are student knowledge gains impacted by the degree of embodied learning and to what extent do the affordances of different technology-based learning environments constrain or support embodied learning for STEM topics?
