Aman Yadav

Biography

Aman Yadav's research and teaching focuses on improving student experiences and outcomes in computer science and engineering classrooms at the K-16 level. Within this line of inquiry, he studies: 1) how to prepare pre-service and in-service teachers to teach computing ideas, such as how to integrate computational thinking ideas within subject areas; and (2) how to implement problem-based learning approaches to improve student outcomes in undergraduate computer science and engineering. He is a principal ... investigator on a National Science Foundation grant to design, implement, and assess a high-quality, integrated curriculum, and professional development that supports elementary school teachers in embedding computational thinking (CT) into their classrooms. He is also a PI on another NSF grant to establish an evidence-based professional development program, including continuous online support, to improve teachers' knowledge to teach computer science concepts at the high school.
