Dr. Juan Zheng
Dr. Zheng is an assistant professor of the Teaching, Learning, and Technology program. She has a background in both educational technology and educational psychology. Her research focuses on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and computer simulations into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education (STEM). Most recently, she works on integrating AI into a simulated learning environment to facilitate students' engineering design. She uses think-aloud, self-report, computer trace data, facial expressions, and physiological sensors to measure students’ cognitive, metacognitive, and emotional processes.
