Research Interests
Dr. French is interested in determining the characteristics of expert problem solving and assessing problem-solving ability in introductory chemistry students. He is also interested in how students compartmentalize concepts related to the universal idea of energy. Very often students segregate certain energy topics to chemistry (e.g., heat, temperature) and others to physics (e.g., translational kinetic energy), whereas experts view these topics as connected at a deeper level. The French group would like to better understand and pinpoint the conceptual barricades students put in place in order for instructors to efficiently and effectively break them down and increase learning.
