Teacher and Counselor Education
Assistant Professor
Mike’s current research investigates the role of contextualization in science learning, or how learners make association between targeted science content knowledge and the social, cultural, and physical aspects of their learning environment. He is particularly interested in understanding science learnin in environments where the learning context is authentically linked to the content to be learned, such as field experiences or cases where students conduct inquiry in conjunction with practicing scientists. The goal of this work is to help science teachers to improve these experiential pedagogies by more effectively leveraging the experiences to enhance learning and contextualization of science content.
