I have been engaged in STEM Education Research since the end of my freshman year, and there\u2019s nothing else I\u2019d rather be a part of. As a part of the Baillie Research Group, I have examined implicit theories regarding intelligence and how they influence the learning environment.

I earned my bachelor\u2019s degree in Chemistry: Biochemistry in 2007 from Loyola University Chicago and two master\u2019s degrees at UA of Little Rock in 2013 in Chemistry and Higher Education. I worked as a full-time Instructor of Chemistry at UA of Little Rock for nearly a decade, where I was awarded the STEM College Faculty Excellence Award for Teaching and named the Next Woman to Watch at UA of Little Rock in 2021. My love of teaching inspired me to pursue a Ph.D. where I&nbsp; focus on building mathematical models to help understand how the learning environment in chemistry classrooms impacts students\u2019 success, especially for students from Historically Underserved Groups (HUGs). I am currently in my fourth year of graduate school and have recently resigned from my position as an instructor to focus full-time on my dissertation. I am pursuing a tenure-track position or post-doc position in the Chicago land area, where I moved to be near family.

We look to measure these changes with instruments like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decibel Analysis for Research in Teaching (<a href=\"https:\/\/sepaldart.herokuapp.com\/\">DART<\/a>). Audio levels can tell you a lot about the teaching environment. See the seminal paper on this technology <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pnas.org\/content\/early\/2017\/02\/28\/1618693114.full\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate Sciences (<a href=\"https:\/\/cwsei.ubc.ca\/resources\/tools\/copus\">COPUS<\/a>). There is a lot you learn about teaching practices by observing it directly. While this is labor intensive, it is a very valuable way to collect data on classroom environments.<\/li>\n<li>Post-secondary Instructional Practices Survey (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifescied.org\/doi\/full\/10.1187\/cbe.15-09-0193\">PIPS<\/a>).

Hence, our group is not only using the <a href=\"https:\/\/sepaldart.herokuapp.com\/\">SEPAL DART<\/a> tool to analyze audio recordings from our participant faculty classrooms, we are working in two ways to expand this technology in collaboration with Dr. Kimberly Tanner and Dr. Melinda Owens (the original creators of DART):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We want to make the collection of audio recordings of classrooms easier and more secure through the Internet of Things. This involves building out a raspberry Pi to automatically capture the audio levels in a classroom, process it on the pi, and send only the analyzed data to our research group. This will remove many concerns faculty have of privacy (what they and students say won&#8217;t be accessible).<\/li>\n<li>Working with a computer science collaborator here at UA Little Rock (<a href=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/computerscience\/faculty-and-staff\/mariofanna-milanova\/\">Dr. Fanny Milanova<\/a> and her group), we are trying to create the next generation of DART (2.0). The goals of this collaboration are to increase the range of class sizes where accurate data can be collected, separating out single voice interchange from single voice lecture, and validating the new algorithm in a variety of classroom types.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"accordion-heading\"><button type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"toggle accordion-trigger\" aria-controls=\"Studying-development-of-a-community-focused-on-teaching-and-learning-in-STEM-Content\" id=\"Studying-development-of-a-community-focused-on-teaching-and-learning-in-STEM\">Studying development of a community focused on teaching and learning in STEM<span class=\"toggle-icon\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div id=\"Studying-development-of-a-community-focused-on-teaching-and-learning-in-STEM-Content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"Studying-development-of-a-community-focused-on-teaching-and-learning-in-STEM-Content\" class=\"accordion-panel\" hidden=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Participation in a professional development environment, like a community of practice, can influence the enactment of evidence based instructional practices in STEM. A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who come together in pursuit of a common interest, such as sharing experience to solve a problem, creating common resources, generating new knowledge together, and\/or communicating knowledge outside of the community (Wenger, 1999) Our community at UA Little Rock is currently in the transition phase from \u201cPotential\u201d (Stage 1) to Coalescing\u201d stage (Stage 2) of CoP development which is characterized as making connections and negotiating community. It is important to understand how the \u201ccoalescing\u201d phase occurs in the UA Little Rock context. The way that we are looking to understand this phase is through the lens of Regulation of Learning Theory which describes learning as happening through regulation of self-regulated (individual), co-regulated (peer- to- peer), and shared regulation (community) of learning. (Hadwin et al, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"accordion-heading\"><button type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"toggle accordion-trigger\" aria-controls=\"Student-equity---increasing-participation-in-the-Learning-Assistants-program-for-students-from-Historically-Underserved-Groups-Content\" id=\"Student-equity---increasing-participation-in-the-Learning-Assistants-program-for-students-from-Historically-Underserved-Groups\">Student equity - increasing participation in the Learning Assistants program for students from Historically Underserved Groups<span class=\"toggle-icon\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div id=\"Student-equity---increasing-participation-in-the-Learning-Assistants-program-for-students-from-Historically-Underserved-Groups-Content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"Student-equity---increasing-participation-in-the-Learning-Assistants-program-for-students-from-Historically-Underserved-Groups-Content\" class=\"accordion-panel\" hidden=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>To build a more diverse STEM workforce, institutions seek to increase the representation of diverse groups in faculty and mentoring positions. The Learning Assistant (LA) near-peer student support program has the potential to bring diverse students into highly visible and impactful mentoring roles early in their college careers, benefiting both LAs and students in LA-supported courses. However, the demographic characteristics of potential students interested in the LA Program and the subsequent barriers to entry have yet to be investigated. Thus, our lab investigates the potential barriers to equitable participation in the LA Program to create inclusive practices in recruiting and retaining students who have been historically marginalized.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/full\/10.1021\/acs.jchemed.2c00635\">Kattoum, R.

But is professional development enough to move the needle of student success, or are there other considerations underlying faculty mindset about intelligence being static (fixed mindset) or malleable (growth mindset)? The theory of planned behavior suggests that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control work in tandem to initiate any changes in behavior. Hence, if faculty adopt teaching practices because of the norms set in that department but do not necessarily believe in those practices, this can result in minimal improvements in student outcomes. Thus, our lab also investigates 1) if there is a correlation between faculty mindset (self-identified and student-perceived) and teaching practices and 2) whether coupling a faculty growth mindset with active learning enhances student outcomes in STEM courses, especially for students from marginalized populations.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Research Interests Our research group is interested in Chemistry Education Research and Institutional Change Research.
