We
are a learning sciences and chemistry education research group that explores (i) the identification of the task-specific use
of visuo-spatial strategies in scientific problem
solving, (ii) characterization of the interaction
of visuo-spatial ability and scientific expertise,
and (iii) the development of visualization software
for teaching high school and college chemistry.
We approach these problems using psychometrics, clinical interviews, laboratory-based experiments, and curriculum development and assessment in science classrooms.
