Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Minju Hong's research investigates the application of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her work explores the impact of AAT on social behavior, prosocial behavior, and emotional regulation in this population. Hong has conducted pilot studies examining how AAT affects these outcomes in autistic children with varying verbal abilities. She also utilizes machine learning techniques to analyze large datasets, contributing to predictive insights into student performance in science and mathematics on national assessments like PISA. Her publication record includes meta-analyses on professional development programs in science education and studies on topic modeling for enhancing rubric development and revealing interdisciplinary understanding in students. Hong has a h-index of 4 and has published 28 works, with 72 citations. She collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Michele Kilmer, Emily Shah, Danielle Randolph, and Sarah Huetter.
