معرفی
Victoria Cross serves as an Associate Professor of Teaching in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis, where she focuses on advancing pedagogical practices in higher education. Her work bridges cognitive psychology principles with practical classroom applications, particularly in large-enrollment settings.
Her research spans Educational Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, and Teaching and Learning, with core emphases on metacognitive strategies, feedback utilization, and data literacy development. She investigates how structured reflection enhances students' understanding of research validity and statistical concepts, while also addressing equity issues for first-generation students through critical thinking frameworks. Her approach integrates cognitive theory with scalable instructional design.
Analysis of her 2019-2024 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: (1) Metacognitive feedback systems that transform how students process instructor comments, (2) Collaborative data literacy interventions using peer modeling in statistics education, and (3) Adaptive teaching frameworks for remote/hybrid research methods instruction. These threads collectively address the challenge of maintaining pedagogical effectiveness at scale while deepening conceptual understanding.
