Dr. Yoo Kyung Chang is a senior lecturer at the program of Communication, Media, and Learning Technologies Design (CMLTD), Teachers College, Columbia University. Her research and professional expertise lies in the design and development of technology to support and understand learning. Her current research focuses on the intersection between data-driven design and (meta)cognitive development in diverse contexts including health education, game-based learning, media literacy, esports, and literacy education.
Dr. Yoo Kyung Chang received her Ph.D. from New York University where she developed and evaluated a Behavioral Measure of Metacognitive Behavior (BMMP) as an alternative means of learning assessment, within the context of inquiry-based science learning through simulation. Dr. Chang worked as the post-doctorate research fellow at New York Hall of Science researching play as the framework for science learning. Dr. Chang has received her masters degree from Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University, one of the most pioneering program in media arts. Through her masters study and professional experience in the field of technology, Dr. Chang firmly believes that the focus of our study should be on human mind, and behavior not the technology itself.
