Learning and teaching
Research interests:
Students underrepresented in STEM
Children’s understanding of mathematics
Improving teaching methods
Professor Perry’s research focuses on (1) children's acquisition of knowledge, especially of the sort taught in schools (e.g., children's acquisition of mathematical concepts), (2) the ways in which teachers understand and improve their teaching of mathematics, and (3) the ways in which the online space may provide supports and affordances for students underrepresented in STEM.
