BIO

Dr. Johnston’s Teaching, Learning and Technology Program focuses on technology and learning issues. Studies have explored how learning is shaped by factors in the product design as well as by factors outside the product: teaching practices, student assignments, arrangement of the learning space and classroom interaction patterns. He has studied a wide range of content domains, including social studies, science, writing, adult literacy, foreign languages, and social values. In his current work he is constructing electronic networks of teachers and studying what is required to build group cohesiveness and develop new skills in an environment with limited face-to-face interaction.

Jerome Johnston is a Research Professor Emeritus in Educational Studies at the School of Education. He was a previous director of the Research Center for Group Dynamics.
