Work in the Pazicni Group falls under the broad scope of chemistry education research. While they pursue several projects related to improving particular aspects of chemistry teaching and learning, they are driven ultimately by the idea of achieving equity in education. The philosophy of the group is that as faculty, they don’t teach classes; they teach collections of individuals—the backgrounds and experiences of those individuals shape how they interact, the learning environments they construct, and the ideas they champion and value. The Pazicni research helps to characterize some of the systemic issues related to differential learning and achievement in the undergraduate chemistry classroom and inform ways that faculty can adjust their practices so as to achieve more equitable learning environments.
