Bio

Dr. Pamela Christol has held higher education positions for over 22 years, beginning as a teaching/research graduate student at Oklahoma State University, working as an assistant professor/program coordinator at the University of Houston/Clear Lake, and serving as a professor and chair of two science education programs at NSU. Dr. Christol has also worked as an aerospace education specialist for NASAs Aerospace Education Services program, traveling the country providing educational outreach opportunities and presenting at a variety of science, technology, and mathematics conferences.
Preservice teachers' constructs of self-efficacy and outcome expectancy with regard to science teaching and learning.
Changing perceptions of preservice teachers' attitudes towards teaching science content.
Evaluating misconceptions in science and strategies for changing them
I am interested in teaching science content/pedagogy to undergraduates and graduate students, particularly in the areas of environmental and Earth sciences. By engaging students emotionally, linking content with their personal daily interactions with the natural world, it becomes meaningful.
