معرفی
Megan Connor serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry within Samford University's Howard College of Arts and Sciences, specializing in chemistry education research with emphasis on NMR spectroscopy instruction and inclusive pedagogical approaches for diverse student populations.
Education
- PhD in Chemistry, University of Michigan
- BS in Chemistry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Research Focus: Dr. Connor employs eye-tracking and think-aloud methodologies to investigate cognitive processes in NMR spectroscopy learning. Her scholarship addresses systemic barriers in chemistry education through national faculty surveys examining evidence-based instructional practice adoption, departmental climate influences, and laboratory curriculum modernization across organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry contexts.
Publication Trends: Her 2020-2025 publications demonstrate consistent national survey leadership across chemistry subdisciplines, with recurring themes in NMR assessment instrument development, inclusive laboratory design, and the intersection of gender dynamics with spectroscopy education. Key contributions include the NMR-LRC assessment tool and frameworks for modular protein-centered analytical courses.
