About
I’m Josh Rosenberg, Haslam Family Professor and Associate Professor of STEM Education at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I study the use of data in education, especially in STEM education.
My research is in two closely related areas. In educational data science, I use new data sources and computational methods to study teaching, learning, and educational systems. In data science education, I study how students and educators learn to work with data themselves. Much of this work happens in collaboration with teachers, students, and community partners, in real classrooms and schools.
I have received more than $9 million in research funding as principal investigator or co-principal investigator, including a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. I have published more than 65 peer-reviewed journal articles in outlets including Educational Researcher, Journal of Research in Science Teaching, and AERA Open, and my work has been cited more than 7,000 times. I’m also a co-author of Data Science in Education Using R (Routledge), a book with an open-access, web-based version accessed more than 150,000 times.
At UT, I teach courses in educational data science, STEM education, and research methods. I serve as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education and on the editorial boards of several education research journals, and I served as a committee member for the National Academies study Developing Competencies for the Future of Data and Computing: The Role of K-12.
