Dr. You-kyung Lee have taught courses in different levels (i.e., undergraduate and graduate students), content areas (e.g., educational/developmental psychology, research methods), and modes of instruction (i.e., face-to-face and online). Based on her teaching experiences, and on her research findings, her teaching philosophy is that a classroom should be a space for students to develop their knowledge, explore and challenge their own ideas, and collaborate with their peers. She strive to realize this philosophy by supporting students’ mastery goals (i.e., aiming to understanding materials and developing competence) and encouraging peer learning.

TE 150 Reflections on Learning
I taught a face-to-face undergraduate course in the Department of Teacher Education at Michigan State University for the last three years (2014-2017). I helped students understand not only what constitutes typical learning and development, but more importantly, the mechanisms that cause these changes. I also encouraged students to reflect on cultural issues in classrooms and discuss intercultural interactions related to teaching and learning experiences.
