Dr. Hughes' research and teaching focuses on teacher learning and technology integration in preservice and inservice contexts. Her current work examines content-based approaches to educational technology instruction and inquiry approaches to professional learning. Nested within these strands, she also focuses attention on issues related to technology leadership and the use of video-based hypermedia materials in teacher education. She currently is conducting longitudinal research focused on preservice teacher preparation programs that require laptop computing. She also recently completed several middle school school case studies of content-focused technology integration.
