Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Christopher M. Estepp's research focuses on educational methodologies and technology integration, particularly for novice learners in agricultural education. His work investigates the impact of generative artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, on students' performance, interest, self-efficacy, and programming abilities when learning microcontrollers like Arduino. Estepp has also examined effective instructional design strategies for these subjects, drawing on self-efficacy theory to enhance student outcomes.

His research extends to understanding the professional development needs of agricultural educators, including those working with English language learners. Estepp has also explored teacher stress, coping mechanisms, and job satisfaction, particularly within the context of challenging teaching environments like those induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. He has published extensively with collaborators Donald M. Johnson and William Doss, among others, from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
