Research Interests
Dr. Kuhlmann directs the KuhlMedia and Mind lab. In her research, she seeks to understand the cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational processes involved in learning complex information in STEM. For example, she explores how students learn from generative strategies and well-designed multimedia technologies. She uses various methods and data streams to conduct her research, including highly controlled lab-based experiments and authentic quasi-experimental classroom studies, as well as learning analytic methods like click stream data and data mining techniques.
