Research
The James lab is foused on investigating the interrelated questions of:
- How do students activate their chemistry knowledge in unfamiliar, interdisciplinary contexts?
- What are the core, foundational concepts and skills in materials chemistry, and how do we support the teaching and learning of these skills?
Current projects
- A Systematic Review: Deficit and anti-deficit framing in STEM education
- What is Materials Chemistry? A rational identification of foundational skills used in materials chemistry practice
