Minnie's Introduction | Introductions | Discussion

I am a first-year Ph.D. student studying educational psychology and educational technology at Michigan State University. I grew up in China and received my undergraduate education in psychology with a business minor at the University of California, San Diego, and my master's degree at Teachers College, Columbia University, studying Cognitive Science in Education. With a background in experimental psychology, my main research interests are 1) how can we help people to pursue their lifelong learning and achieve their goals? 2) how do cognitive flexibilities help us to learn and adapt to this fast-changing world? 3) to design and promote accessible multimedia learning tools to help people to obtain expanded learning and educational opportunities. I want to be a scholar that can conduct high-quality research, think critically, and continue to build and refine my value system during the years of training. I am really an interest-driven person: I want to know more about the field of psychology and education so that I want to be in a Ph.D. program and I am open to any opportunities for my future jobs as long as I'm interested in them. Outside academia, I like playing games, watching TV shows, and traveling.

I would say all the topics are interesting! But I am particularly attracted to design-based research, online learning, and game learning!!!
