RESEARCH
(https://circle.wustl.edu/)
Develops new pedagogical methods, including those that utilize collaborative learning
and active learning. Collaborates with faculty in the discipline when appropriate.
Currently my research focuses on two broad areas: improving learning and inclusion in
introductory STEM courses, and promoting and enhancing faculty development.
As co-Director of the Center with M. McDaniel (psychology). The center was initially
funded by the Office of the Provost and opened July 2011. Currently, the center is funded
through institutional funds and external funding. CIRCLE is focused on research
concerning teaching and learning. The mission of CIRCLE is to improve teaching and
student learning at Washington University and in higher education more broadly by
providing a bridge between faculty teaching in the disciplines and researchers in
cognitive and learning sciences and discipline-based education research. Through
collaborative projects, the goals of CIRCLE are to 1) foster implementation of
innovations in teaching across the university, which include those that apply research

from the cognitive and learning sciences and discipline-based education science; 2)
support research to evaluate the effectiveness of these innovations for enhancing student
learning and retention of knowledge; 3) and disseminate the results of these classroom-
based evaluations using experimental methods to the Washington University community
and to the national and international communities.
Introductory Learning in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics)
Peer-Led, Team Learning (PLTL) Group
(https://circle.wustl.edu/collaborations/peer-led-team-learning/ )
Main architect of the Peer-Led Team Learning program for General Chemistry at
Washington University, with expansion to the Calculus series and a modified
program in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Developed a multi-
disciplinary general-studies course required for first-time peer leaders to learn
facilitation and group-management skills. Papers on evaluation published in J. Chem.
Edu.
Studying the discourse in collaboration with K. Sawyer (Education, now at University
of North Carolina) and M. Hogrebe (Education). Study on the discourse that occurs in
PLTL groups; results are being used to modify the training of peer leaders. Two
chapters in a book Productive Multivocality in the Analysis of Group Interactions,
edited by D. Suthers and K. Lund. A manuscript on this quantitative discourse project
was published in Chem. Edu. Res. and Prac.
Collaboration with M. Repice (Teaching Center) and G. Szteinberg (lecturer,
Chemistry) examining the discourse in General Chemistry peer-leader essays.
Examining over 10 years of essays to identify peer-leading best practices as told by
peer leaders. A manuscript is in preparation.
The Transition Program for General Chemistry
(https://circle.wustl.edu/collaborations/transition-program/ )
Leads the development of a transition program for students who are under-prepared
for General Chemistry. This program includes the development of an online pre-
matriculation tutorial and diagnostic exam to identify the less-prepared students. The
program also includes extended-length POGIL recitations focused on problem
solving, integration into PLTL groups, and specialized semi-structured peer-mentored
homework groups. The evaluation shows improved performance by students in this
program; one J. Chem. Edu. paper was published, and was selected as one of three
finalists for the 5th annual Maryellen Weimer Scholarly Work on Teaching and
Learning Award (spring 2013).

Determining Concept-building Approaches (Learning Approaches) of General
Chemistry Students (chemistry and psychology)
(https://circle.wustl.edu/collaborations/learning-approaches-in-general-chemistry/ )
Starting in fall 2009, collaborating with M. McDaniel (Professor of Psychology) to
determine the concept-building approaches of students in General Chemistry using a
function-learning task that is independent of chemistry knowledge, and compare
course performance between two learning groups (algorithmic/rote and theory-
based/rule-based). Interventions will then be introduced to help the lower performing
group succeed in General Chemistry. Two papers published, J. Chem. Edu. and J.
Applied Res. In Memory and Cognition.
Effect of Promoting a Growth Mindset in General Chemistry on Course
Performance
(https://circle.wustl.edu/collaborations/psychological-interventions-chemistry/ )
In collaboration with M. McDaniel and the instructors in General Chemistry, we
developed and implemented a course-based growth-mindset intervention in General
Chemistry in Fall 2015 and 2016. Using a random-assignment classroom experiment,
we compared the performances of students in the control and experimental groups.
Performance results revealed an achievement gap between underrepresented minority
and white students in the control group, but no sex-based gap. Critically, after
adjusting for variation in academic preparation, the mindset intervention eliminated
this racial achievement gap. Qualitative analysis of students’ written reflections from
the intervention shed light on their experiences of the mindset and control treatments,
deepening our understanding of mindset effects. We have implemented a similar
experiment this fall (2018) in General Physics. One paper published in Chem. Edu.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence Project
(https://circle.wustl.edu/collaborations/stem-education-initiatives/hhmi-inclusive-
excellence-initiative/ )
“Fostering inclusive classrooms and student support systems through psychosocial
and metacognitive strategies,” is project funded by HHMI 2017-2022. PI with co-PIs
J. Duchek (psychological & brain sciences, Cornerstone director), K. Miller (chair
and professor of biology), J. Smith (dean of the College of Arts & Sciences). This
project focuses on creating an inclusive learning environment where students from all
demographic groups are welcome and equally likely to be successful in STEM
disciplines. The project comprises a campus-wide plan that targets psychosocial and
metacognitive factors related to inclusion, with a focus on interacting with three key
groups who work with students in their first two years of undergraduate study (i.e.,
STEM faculty, advisors and student-affairs professionals, and undergraduate peer
leaders). This campus-wide project is being designed, implemented, and evaluated by
CIRCLE and collaborators throughout campus.

“Using a Multiple-Strategies Approach to Increase the Use of Active-learning
Techniques across Multiple STEM Disciplines: Implementation and Evaluation,” is a
project that is funded by the AAU Undergraduate STEM Education Initiative starting
in July 2013. Co-PI with M. McDaniel (psychology), K. Miller (biology), and K.
Thoroughman (Biomedical Engineering). This project focuses on incorporating and
evaluating effective active-learning techniques in STEM courses in Arts & Sciences
and Engineering. This project also focuses on designing and implementing a
professional-development program in active-learning techniques and practices for
faculty and graduate students, with a long-term commitment via faculty fellows and a
Summer Institute for Teaching. The campus also will promote cultural change by
creating a faculty teaching community that integrates and values research and
teaching.
Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL)
(https://teachingcenter.wustl.edu/programs/graduate-students-postdocs/professional-
development/wu-cirtl/)
This is a nation-wide network of 48 universities whose focus is to improve
professional-development programs on teaching and learning for future STEM
faculty. Administrative co-leader of the WU-CIRTL program from 2012-2018;
institutional leader is K. Miller (chair of biology). Our WU-CIRTL program started in
2012; we collaborate with faculty at Washington University to refine and enhance our
WU-CIRTL program including initiating a scholarship of teaching and learning
internship (WU-STAR) for Washington University STEM graduate students. We
evaluated the effectiveness of our WU-CIRTL program on future faculty’s awareness
of, likeliness to use, and knowledge of evidence-based STEM pedagogies. A
manuscript on the evaluation of the STEM Pedagogy workshop series is in
preparation. Components of this project were funded through external grants.
My current focus in CIRTL is with a collaborative effort of eight universities led by
Northwestern University to develop and implement a program to train current and
