Brain Science Speaker Series: Featuring Dr. Allison Jaeger

Please join us for a talk by Dr. Allison Jaeger titled Leveling the Playing Field: Instructional Strategies for Supporting STEM Learning in Low Spatial Students.

Dr. Jaeger is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science in the Psychology Department at Mississippi State University. As the director of the STEM Thinking and Reasoning (STAR) Lab, her research focuses on how individual differences in learner characteristics and instructional factors may interact with and impact successful comprehension in science. In particular, she investigates the role of spatial thinking skill in successful STEM learning and how materials and instructions can be designed to support learning for all types of students. For example, she has received funding from the National Science Foundation to study the effective use of student-generated drawings in enhancing learning, as well as how instructors’ use of analogies impacts students’ understanding in geoscience.
