Dr. Day is an analytical chemist with a major focus on chemistry education research and an interest in science/STEM education. Her expertise is in curriculum development and evaluation, assessment design, and green and sustainable chemistry education. Her laboratory leverages education research methods (mix of qualitative analysis, statistical modeling, and design-based research methods) to discover how to support student learning. Specifically, her approach centers assessing to support students' knowledge-in-use through the framing of the Three-Dimensional Learning framework and a socio-cognitive perspective on educational measurement.
