Crismond’s main research interests revolve around K-16 science and engineering cognition and pedagogy, and teacher professional development in these areas. Crismond recently completed a collaborative NSF-funded project with Tufts University that developed software called the Design Compass that supports students’ reflective thinking while designing. With Purdue's Robin Adams, he is developing a representation of design pedagogical content knowledge, and is currently teaching graduate courses for in-service K-8 teachers that emphasize doing literacy- and math-enhanced hands-on science and engineering activities with students. visit author page
