I enjoy trying out new theories and doing interdisciplinary work.
In "Gestalt-ing a Diagram," Devon Ward and I applied Gestalt design principles to study the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching "egg" model (Küchle & Ward, accepted).
I worked with a group of mathematics and chemistry educators to study Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching in the context of chemistry instruction (Posey et al., 2020).
Shiv Karunakaran and I studied beliefs about learning attributed to recognized instructors of collegiate mathematics (Küchle & Karunakaran, 2019).
I have also engaged in different forms of professional writing.
Jihye Hwang and I wrote a book chapter for graduate students with advice on implementing group work (Küchle & Hwang, 2021).
I wrote a paper about how Sfard's theory of commognition has been operationalized, primarily so that newcomers to the theory might learn how to conduct a commognitive study (Küchle, 2021).
I wrote an opinion piece for Bridge Michigan on algorithms (Kuechle, 2021).
I wrote a book review of David Pimm's "Speaking Mathematically: Communication in Mathematics Classrooms" (Küchle, 2019).
