About Us

The Randles Research Group is a Chemistry Education Research Group based at the University of Central Florida. Our mission is to probe at student understanding and develop the learning opportunities for K-16 students studying chemistry. We conduct research associated with six broad themes. Those themes are:

  1. Problem-solving and assessment
  2. Communities of Practice in Web2.0 learning environments (project on hold)
  3. The reflective practice of undergraduate learning assistants and graduate teaching assistants
  4. The use of Multiple literacies and Threshold Concepts models to develop K-16 chemistry and biology curriculum
  5. Monitoring student mental health in general and organic chemistry courses.
  6. Using AI assisted Apps to support student academic advising
