Overview

  • Professor Bauer is no longer accepting graduate students for the Chemistry Education PhD program.

    Since the 1980s, Professor Bauer has been designing, implementing, and studying inquiry-based learning activities for students and for teachers from elementary through university level. His research interests include student attitudes, content misconceptions, and self-awareness as learners; discovery-based and cooperatively-structured college chemistry curricula; and faculty and future-faculty beliefs and practice. His work includes development of valid and reliable assessments of these issues, melding both quantitative and qualitative techniques derived from psychology, social psychology, and education. His work also encompasses a long history of outreach to the K-12 community as well as professional development for science faculty at all levels.
