OverviewAI-generated summary
Donald M. Johnson's research agenda investigates the intersection of educational methodologies, technology adoption, and agricultural applications. He has explored the impact of generative artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, on the performance, interest, self-efficacy, and programming ability of novice Arduino programmers, particularly within agricultural student populations. His work also addresses pedagogical approaches, examining the effectiveness of self-efficacy theory in designing instruction for microcontroller programming and evaluating discrepancies in professional development needs using different models.
Beyond educational technology, Johnson's research extends to agricultural and environmental science. This includes the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remote sensing for blackberry growth monitoring and feature quantification, as well as the evaluation of industrial hemp cultivars and biochar for remediating heavy-metal-contaminated soil from the Tar Creek Superfund Site. His publications also touch upon teacher stress, coping strategies, and job satisfaction in response to challenging teaching environments, such as those induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Johnson holds a distinguished record with an h-index of 23, encompassing 194 publications and over 2,554 citations. He has received federal funding, including a $25,000 NSF grant as Co-PI for the 50th Arkansas Spring Lecture Series in the Mathematical Sciences. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Christopher M. Estepp, William Doss, George W. Wardlow, and Will Doss, with whom he shares multiple publications. Johnson leads a research group and is recognized as a highly cited, recently active researcher.
