Indiana University Bloomington

Overview:
In the Change Lab (PI: Benjamin Motz) at Indiana University Bloomington, we study learning in context. Our research examines mechanisms of human learning, the conceptual structure of human knowledge, how people communicate expertise, and effective strategies when trying to build new knowledge. Our work emphasizes real-world learning materials, learning situations, and learning influences, and we explore innovative ways to bring rigorous experimental research methods and analyses to education environments. One such innovation is Terracotta (https://terracotta.education), a plugin to the learning management system that makes it easy to conduct experimental research studies in real course sites. This research involves close collaboration with teachers and schools.
This is a one-year appointment, and it will support ongoing research in the Change Lab, including studies being conducted locally, as well as large-scale distributed research conducted in Terracotta. The research associate's responsibilities will include training collaborating teachers on experiment setup in Terracotta, supervising undergraduate research assistants, and helping to run behavioral studies online and in the lab. The research associate will have opportunities to earn authorship on publications and present posters at scientific meetings.
