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.
