Dr. Kim H. Song has taught social studies methods courses and research methods courses at University of Missouri – St. Louis, U. S. A. Kim’s research interest includes closing urban students’ achievement gap, backward instructional planning cycle, instructional technology and content learning, and international education. She presented numerous papers in national and international conferences and published several articles on conceptual framework of assessment, urban teachers’ beliefs, multicultural educational techniques, purposefully designed teacher education courses, democratic education process: kids voting and a book on portfolio development. She is now working on two projects. One is to focus on how to help teachers improve their content teaching strategies using children’s literature books. The other one is to examine how self-assessment of teaching performances can help teachers improve their teaching and student learning through the analysis of their own video taped presentations.
