Research Summary

I am doing research on the use of artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML) and generative AI (GenAI) for transforming workforce preparation in K-12 education. My current research interests include (1) exploring educators’ best practices of integrating AI in teaching and assessment; (2) preparing educators with AI literacy and competencies through AI professional development and AI curriculum; (3) integrating large language models and generative AI to develop multimodal-featured learning agents and learning environments, and (4) examining national AI policies and strategies for promoting an AI-competent workforce.
