She was at the top of her physics class at both the bachelor and masters level at IIT Kharagpur. She obtained her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California Santa Barbara in 1993 conducting research in condensed matter theory. After her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign before moving to the University of Pittsburgh in 1995.〔 〕 After moving to the University of Pittsburgh, Singh gradually transitioned to research in physics education. She has pioneered research-based efforts to improve teaching and learning in advanced physics courses and has conducted seminal research in the teaching and learning of junior/senior level quantum mechanics. She has also conducted important research (which includes both theoretical research and empirical research in physics classes) to improve students’ problem solving, reasoning and meta-cognitive skills and make students good problem solvers and independent learners. She has also made major contributions to assessment of learning in the context of physics and in improving student learning in physics courses at all levels. Currently, Singh is pursuing physics education research to understand cognitive issues in learning physics, identify sources of student difficulties in learning physics at both the introductory and advanced levels, and design and assess novel curricula/pedagogies that may significantly reduce these difficulties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chandralekha Singh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
