Research interests include enhancing students’ interests and skills in mathematics; the impact and relationships between mathematics competitions, and secondary mathematics curriculum.
Research interests include mathematical problem solving, visual learning in mathematics, and making elementary mathematics meaningful.
Research interests concentrate on inquiry-based science instructional strategies and their use in training pre-service elementary science teachers.
Research interests are focused primarily on the effects of the physical structure and the arrangement of science classrooms on teaching, discipline, safety and student learning.
Dr. Hilborn’s research interests include lasers, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, and nonlinear dynamic systems. He has earned the American Physical Society prize for research in an undergraduate institution and the American Association of Physics Teachers’ Distinguished Service Citation. Most recently, in 2004, he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Research interests are the use of computer modeling, computer-instrumented hands-on experiments and other approaches to improve K-12 science and technology education, as well as the impact of informal science education on student appreciation of science
Research interests are the effects of outdoor, classroom, informal and virtual learning environments on students’ achievement.
Development of novel colorimetric and fluorescent reaction-based diagnostics for industrial mixing processes coupling the use of acid-base, redox, and/or complexometric chemistry to the solution of important chemical engineering problems. The goal is to enhance chemical engineering design, either through diagnostics that provide direct engineering insight or through diagnostics that drive the development of improved turbulence models for computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Research interests are the evaluation of teacher-student interactions, particularly relevance, immediacy, and credibility; impact of constructivist learning environments in undergraduate education on teacher-student interactions
Instructional interests are focused primarily on the preparation of science and mathematics majors to become future secondary science and mathematics teachers through the UTeach Dallas pre-service program.
Research focuses on the effect of long-term professional development with teachers on reduction of misconceptions of K-12 students.
