About
Dr. Austin Talley is a dedicated engineering education researcher whose work centers on K-12 STEM outreach, teacher professional development, and the assessment of informal learning environments. A key contribution is his development of robust evaluation frameworks for measuring the impact of educational interventions, particularly in afterschool robotics programs. His paper, “DID IT WORK? - ANALYSIS OF WAYS TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF AN AFTERSCHOOL ROBOTICS OUTREACH PROGRAM,” critically examines the tools and methodologies needed to validate the effectiveness of such programs, addressing a pressing need for funding agencies and educators alike. Talley’s research also includes longitudinal studies of project-based professional development, such as his work on the DTEACh Institute at UT Austin, where he employed mixed methods and personality type correlations to assess teacher growth. Though his most cited works each hold 2 citations, their influence lies in shaping practical, evidence-based approaches to engineering education. Talley’s commitment to bridging research and practice makes him a valuable voice for anyone interested in designing, implementing, or evaluating impactful STEM outreach and teacher training initiatives.
