Qi Si serves as an Assistant Professor in the School of Teacher Education & Leadership at Utah State University's Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services. Based in EDUC 376 on the Logan, Utah campus, Dr. Si's work bridges teacher preparation with innovative literacy and technology integration practices for K-12 classrooms.
Research focuses prominently on multimodal literacies and technology-enhanced instruction across elementary subject areas. Current investigations examine self-regulated multimodal composition frameworks, scaffolding coding through literacy development, and teachers' use of language as epistemic tools in science education. The research program consistently addresses practical classroom applications while emphasizing emergent bilingual learners' needs and pandemic-era remote/hybrid instructional adaptations.
Analysis of recent publications reveals a cohesive trajectory in elementary teacher education, with 7 of 11 articles published since 2023 concentrating on technology integration in literacy and STEM. Recurring methodological approaches include case studies, survey research, and scoping reviews, all oriented toward practical implementation in diverse classroom settings. The work demonstrates particular strength in connecting multimodal composition with disciplinary literacy across science, mathematics, and reading instruction.
While specific grant funding and advising activities aren't detailed in public directories, the active publication record in high-impact educational journals suggests ongoing mentorship of graduate researchers and potential external research support. The scholarly output reflects strong engagement with contemporary challenges in elementary teacher preparation and digital-age literacy instruction.
