    Supporting Parents of Children with Behavioral Challenges

    Chen Shi’s research is focused on helping children with emotional behavioral disorder and ADHD, and their families.

    Shi is happy she chose Lehigh’s College of Education for her doctoral work. “Lehigh is such a supportive environment—especially my program,” she says. “All the students are my allies—if I have a question, I either knock on a faculty door or I text my cohort,” she says. “It's a tight group that supports each other.”

    An assistant professor in the College of Education’s Teaching, Learning, and Technology program, Juan Zheng recently received the TICL Outstanding Early Career Researcher Award from the American Educational Research Association. With 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, her work focuses 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.
