Research Interests
The field of chemical education research seeks to identify the processes and approaches of students learning of chemistry. The subsequent focus is then to develop and assess differentiated strategies that align with effective learning approaches and assist in removing the barriers to the parts of the processes that inhibit learning.
Specifically, Dr. Daubenmire’s research focuses on engaging students in their learning process by focusing on how chemistry is involved in solving problems in the world, utilizing and assessing guided inquiry and cooperative learning techniques in the chemistry classroom, and assisting chemistry teachers in their development of an inquiry-based instructional repeteroire.
