OverviewAI-generated summary
Louis S. Nadelson's research focuses on STEM education, particularly examining teachers' perceptions and preparation for STEM instruction, and the integration of STEM concepts into curricula. Nadelson has investigated inquiry-based professional development for elementary teachers and explored the definition and future of integrated STEM education. Their work also delves into student engagement, including studies on motivational engagement and video gaming, as well as student attitudes toward environmental science field trips and the acceptance of evolution.
Further research by Nadelson addresses the development and validation of assessment instruments, such as one designed to measure trust in science and scientists. Nadelson also leads a research group and has served as PI on a National Science Foundation grant totaling $120,244 for a project focused on peer mentor preparation and mentoring of undergraduate engineering students in makerspaces. Collaborations include shared publications with Estefany Soto, Amy Baldwin, Marsha D. Massey, and Stacey D. Loyless, all from the University of Central Arkansas.
