Overall Research Project Description | The current study is interested in further exploring the underlying reason behind the phenomenon where sometimes students are aware of multiple strategies to solve a math problem, including the innovative strategy. But, when asked to solve the problems, they rarely use the innovative strategy. The current study investigated how conceptual and procedural knowledge and executive function relates to student's ability to use various strategies adaptively. |
Research Tasks | literature review data collection data analysis under supervision |
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | There is no specific skill required. Previous experience working with middle school or high school students would be ideal. |
Mentoring Philosophy | As a mentor, I view my mentee as collaborators rather than just student. Thus, I respect their opinion and an important mentoring goal for me is to provide my mentee with the opportunity and ability to achieve their professional/personal goal. To help my mentee to identify their goals, I will have them experience each stage of research so they can decide if they are interested in it. I try my best to help my mentee to achieve their professional goals. One of my previous UROP student is interested in data analysis, and so I spend most of our meetings showing them the data analysis script and having them learn data analysis by practicing. As a mentor, I view my mentee as equal. During our interaction, I do not try to be dominating and use my knowledge to guide my students rather than forcing them to complete tasks I assigned them. I am currently collaborating with another student, helping her to develop her own project. During our collaboration, I encourage my mentee to come up with research ideas rather than telling her what project she should work on. While I let my student to take the lead, I still give them guidance and support them. For example, I would give my students literature that I think is relevant for her to read and use my knowledge to help her when she is stuck. |
