Dr. Hannah Hausman awarded Hellman Fellowship!

In collaboration with graduate student Melanie Prieto, Dr. Hausman and Melanie will explore how to improve worked examples as a tool for learning mathematics. Often seen on websites such as Chegg, Slader, etc., worked examples have been regarded as beneficial for student learning. However, this lab’s research has routinely shown that worked examples decrease the accuracy of students’ metacognition–i.e., they are unaware of their level of understanding. This is such an exciting project and we can’t wait to see what comes of it!

Dr. Hannah Hausman awarded large grant from the Spencer Foundation!

Dr. Hannah Hausman, in collaboration with Linguistics professors Dr. Matthew Wages and Dr. Pranav Anand was recently awarded a large grant by the Spencer Foundation. The grant’s purpose is to fund education research that will help contribute to the improvement of education broadly. According to the foundation, they support “rigorous, intellectually ambitious and technically sound research that is relevant to the most pressing questions and compelling opportunities in education”. The current proposal aims to investigate both the possible benefits and drawbacks of the involvement of Artificial Intelligence in college linguistics courses.
