Research

Dr. Monteyne’s research is in the area of cognitive development and how this can be affected by teaching strategies and materials. Currently we are working on developing instruments that dynamically assess the ability to use higher-order thinking skills. We are also working on curriculum development projects, specifically in the laboratory, that are concerned with developing materials which target higher-order thinking skills within the context of chemistry.
