Research Interests
Professor Rodriguez's team investigates disciplinary boundaries, norms, and training within and across chemistry and chemistry education research. This work aims to make often-implicit assumptions and practices more visible, both to support training and foster community conversations and growth.

Undergraduate Engagement in Research
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) focused on Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) provide students the opportunity to explore how people learn concepts in fields such as chemistry. In these projects, students investigate questions related to how to improve teaching and learning, collect and analyze data from educational contexts, and draw conclusions to inform evidence-based instruction. These experiences are embedded within the context of a structured course designed to support students in making intellectual contributions to the broader research literature.
No previous research experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore how we learn science. If you are a UWM student that is interested in learning more about how you can earn course credit while engaging in education research, visit the Rodriguez Group Website.
