Jiahui Wang
Biography
Dr. Jiahui Wang is an Assistant Professor of Educational Technology at Â鶹´«Ã½. She received M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction from the University of Virginia and Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction with a concentration in Educational Technology from the University of Florida.
Dr. Wang’s research focuses on (1) examining the influences of individual differences on learning STEM content with educational technology and (2) studying the underlying learning processes while people learn with educational technology, via process measures (e.g., visual attention, neural oscillations, mouse clicks, etc.). These process measures of learning provide insights into how students learn by revealing their underlying attentional and cognitive processes. The learning environments include but are not limited to K-12 classrooms, online learning, multimedia learning, and digital game-based learning.
Her research has been published in a number of well-respected journals, such as Computers & Education, Computers in Human Behavior, Educational Technology Research and Development, International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, Journal of Special Education Technology, Mind, Brain, and Education. Her work has also been recognized by several awards, such as Alec Courtelis Award and AECT Three Minute Thesis Competition Award.
