Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Donald Johnson's research group at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville investigates the intersection of technology, education, and specific application domains. His recent publications explore the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, in educational settings, particularly with novice learners in programming environments like Arduino. These studies examine the impact of AI on student performance, interest, self-efficacy, and knowledge acquisition, with a focus on adapting instruction for specific student populations, including those in agriculture.
Beyond technology in education, Johnson's work also addresses teacher well-being, examining stress and coping strategies in challenging teaching environments, such as those induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. His research further extends to understanding the psychological factors influencing teaching practices, including the role of intercultural sensitivity in predicting culturally responsive classroom management self-efficacy among preservice teachers. He also investigates methods for determining professional development needs by comparing different discrepancy models.
Johnson's research portfolio includes applications in agricultural technology, with a recent publication focusing on using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remote sensing for blackberry growth monitoring and feature quantification. With a career marked by significant scholarly output, indicated by 194 publications and an h-index of 23, he is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He has collaborated extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Christopher M. Estepp, William Doss, and George W. Wardlow.
