Research Discipline/Bio
Yuxi Chen's research focus on exploring the use of innovative teaching methodologies and students’ reasoning processes to boost students’ conceptual understanding. In particular, as a Research Assistant as well as in her dissertation, her studies aim to analyze students’ graphical reasoning about function composition with dynamic graphical representation, and explore the pattern and depth of students' reasoning steps. She served as a middle school mathematics teacher and school Math Team coach for five years prior to her program at Teachers College.
