Gabriele Wienhausen is a Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus whose research focuses on promoting meaningful learning in college science teaching. Her work emphasizes the development of effective problem-solving skills and the role of interactive, computer-based multimedia tools in facilitating the understanding of complex biological and scientific concepts. Wienhausen investigates how systematic representations of scientific topics can enhance student learning and recall. She aims to develop multimedia modules that improve science teaching in laboratory settings by integrating scientific research with education. These educational tools are designed based on the premise that a deep understanding of biological and biomedical systems requires the meaningful inclusion of related knowledge from various scientific disciplines. Her research highlights the need for innovative instructional methods that can keep pace with the rapidly evolving fields of molecular biology and structural biochemistry. Gabriele is also a co-Principal Investigator of the Howard Hughes Undergraduate Science Enrichment Program and co-Director of the doctoral program in Mathematics Science Education offered jointly by UCSD and SDSU.
Administered by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Curricular groups include Climate-Ocean-Atmosphere (COAP), Geosciences (GEO), and Ocean Biosciences (OBP).
