Aaron Rogat

Position: Research Associate, Department of Educational Studies

Research Interests: I am interested in using advances from the learning sciences to develop tools that support the teaching and learning of science. Over the past several years my research and development efforts have focused on the development and use of learning progressions and innovative assessments for teachers and students, many of which are computer-based.  I also have specific interests in supporting the learning of biology and the ability to develop and use scientific models.
