Mary Lundeberg

 
Mary Lundeberg is Professor of Teacher Education and co-director of the Literacy Achievement Research Center (LARC) at Michigan State University. Dr. Lundeberg received her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Minnesota in 1985 and joined the MSU faculty in 2003. Her research interests include case-based pedagogy in teacher education and science, social interaction in multimedia learning environments, and cultural and gender influences in confidence. She is currently exploring the effects of digital video case-based environments on student literacy, motivation, confidence and understanding of complex subject matter in biology, particularly genetics and infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS) in classrooms in the United States and Africa. Her research in LARC (Literacy Achievement Research Center at MSU) is focused on investigating whether using video to document and comment on classroom discussions helps interns learn to analyze and reflect on their facilitation of science and literacy discussions in a more critical and complex manner than when they use written reflection based solely on memory. She is presently funded by three National Science Foundation projects involving 1) development and assessment of multimedia case-based literacy environments for the biology curriculum, 2) research on case-based pedagogy in science classrooms in collaboration with the SUNY National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science and 3) research on developing a problem-based learning model of professional development for science and mathematics teachers.
