Research Interests:

Dr. Zhonghong Jiang received his Ph.D. from University of Georgia in 1993. His research interests include the use of technology, problem solving, mathematical modeling, and the impact of these aspects on student learning and teacher preparation. His scholarship also focuses on developing instructional materials, working with students from underrepresented groups, and inservice teachers' professional development.
