Dr. Anveshna Srivastava
Tenure: June 2021 - till date
Research Interests: Anveshna is a science education researcher interested in understanding and analysing the process of learning. She uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to answer the following research questions-
What learning trajectory do learners traverse after being first exposed to a concept and developing an understanding about it?
What strategies do learners employ to understand a concept and reach a desired learning outcome?
What pedagogical tools can be used to scaffold this journey of the learning process?
Other than the above, she is also interested in students' reasoning abilities and understanding how it can lead to improved understanding about scientific and engineering concepts.
