Dr. Chung’s philosophy centers on helping students appreciate the interdisciplinary approaches required to understand complex human behavior and the role of science in improving human life. She actively integrate her interdisciplinary research program—spanning motivation, cognition, emotion, and neural processes—into the classroom, using it as a platform to train students in scientific thinking and research skills. Through hands-on engagement, frequent assessment, and evidence-based practices (e.g., active learning, test-potentiated learning, and technology integration), Dr. Chung mentor students to critically evaluate knowledge, challenge biases, and develop the skills necessary to think and act as scientists.
