Dr. David Feldon’s scholarship identifies mechanisms of graduate education that facilitate the equitable development of expertise in STEM disciplines. His research attempts to build bridges from a deep understanding of motivation and cognition to broader cultural and structural influences that shape pathways to expertise and modes of professional success. Feldon is Professor of Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences, Utah State University, and director of assessment for a HHMI Inclusive Excellence award and the external evaluator for the Virginia-North Carolina Alliance for Minority Participation and the Southern Regional Education Board’s Institute for Teaching and Mentoring. Feldon collaborates with pd|hub on building resources for rigorous assessment and evaluation.
