Her long-term goal is to develop and assess curriculum related to biomolecular interaction and visual literacy with the goal of creating and disseminating data-driven research on learning that positively impacts students in chemistry and biochemistry. Dr. Terrell’s work has focused on the design of 3D physical and virtual evidence-based models to increase student conceptual understanding in biochemistry. Recently, she and a team of undergraduate researchers designed a series of 3D physical models that target the identified misconceptions in the ESICI developed by Bretz & Linenberger (2012). (Linenberger & Bretz 2014, 2015). Additionally, she collaborates with researchers at Kennesaw State University, Kimberly Cortes and Adrian Randolph, to determine how and when students learn using 3D physical and virtual model using EEG and eye tracking technologies.
