The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Our scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) research focuses on identifying and implementing evidence-based teaching practices that enhance student learning outcomes. With particular attention to high-enrollment courses such as Introduction to Psychology, we investigate pedagogical approaches that effectively scale to large student populations while maintaining educational quality.

Cognitive Mechanisms of Expertise
Cognitive Mechanisms of Expertise
How does prior knowledge influence perception and memory? This research line examines how experts process and remember information. We primarily study expert populations such as radiologists and medical physicists, but also investigate perception and memory for complex images like face perception.

Community-Engaged Learning and Climate Pedagogy
Community-Engaged Learning and Climate Pedagogy
Our third research avenue explores high-impact pedagogical practices like community-engaged teaching and learning, particularly for complex topics such as climate change. We investigate how connecting material to the local community and other experiential learning opportunities enhance student memory, engagement, and the development of transferable skills.
