John Dunlosky and Jessica Leveto
John Dunlosky, Ph.D.
Professor | Psychological Sciences | Director of SOLE Center | Kent Campus
Dr. Dunlosky is being recognized for his unceasing efforts to increase awareness and use of evidence-based learning strategies here at Kent State. John has a distinguished research career in cognitive psychology, with a focus on self-regulated learning. He has brought his research expertise to the teaching community through creating modules on effective learning that faculty can use for their classes, by engaging with KSU faculty to study effective learning strategies, and by offering a freeware, Study Buddy, to help students study more effectively. He has helped elevate research on teaching and learning and his leadership in learning sciences will have a lasting impact on Kent State and beyond.
