OverviewAI-generated summary
Louis S. Nadelson's research focuses on understanding and enhancing student learning experiences, particularly within STEM and higher education contexts. Nadelson is currently serving as the Principal Investigator for a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant totaling $120,244. This project, "Collaborative Research: Mentoring You is Learning for Me: Peer Mentor Preparation and Mentoring of Undergraduate Engineering Student Learning in Makerspaces," investigates peer mentoring dynamics and student learning in university makerspaces.
Nadelson's publications explore various facets of educational environments. Recent work includes studies on the use of 360-degree videos as an alternative to physical field trips in primary education, the affordances of university-based makerspaces for engineering student development, and issues of equity and belonging within these spaces. Other research areas include the evaluation of instruments for measuring evolution acceptance and the adaptation of chemistry summer camps for online delivery.
With an h-index of 9 and 384 citations across 35 publications, Nadelson has collaborated with colleagues such as Estefany Soto and Amy Baldwin at the University of Central Arkansas. Nadelson leads a research group and has been recently active in scholarship.
