Overall Research Project Description | The goal of this project is to explore and seek to understand the experiences of undergraduate students who are double-majoring in education and science or math (pre-service teachers), particularly as they engage in a learning theory course early on in their major. This course often challenges traditional notions of STEM teaching and learning for these pre-service teachers, and requires them to critically reflect on their own experiences and understandings. Such critical reflection is complex and emotional work. In our efforts to support pre-service teachers in this course, we must explore this complexity and seek to understand their experiences. |
Research Tasks | Research tasks include transcribing interviews and class meetings, organizing and cataloguing video data, and qualitatively analyzing data. |
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | All the skills needed for this project can be taught! |
Mentoring Philosophy | My approach to mentorship is shaped by my own experiences as a mentee and a life-long learner. As a mentee, I have felt the most supported and encouraged when I felt that I was respected as a person, that I could communicate openly and honestly with my mentor, and that my own curiosity and perspective was valued. As a mentor, my goal is to build a genuine relationship with my mentees wherein their voices are valued, their ideas are respected, and their learning is appropriately supported. |
