What kind of dialogue fosters more effective collaboration? This is the central question that drives my research. I am an interdisciplinary researcher and a PhD student at the Graduate Institute of Digital Learning and Education. I combine dialogue analysis, digital technology, and educational practice to explore the mechanisms of collaborative problem-solving. As a member of Professor Chia-Yu Wang's team, I analyze player conversations in a climate change simulation game to understand how groups confront complex challenges together.
My research interests follow two main threads. First, I delve into the analysis of collaborative dialogue in digital contexts, actively seeking new methods like AI and Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) to enhance the effectiveness of qualitative research and uncover the mechanisms of collaboration. Second, building on my undergraduate background in electrical engineering, I am passionate about applying cutting-edge technologies such as VR/AR and the Metaverse to educational innovation, exploring the infinite possibilities of technology-empowered learning.
For me, research and teaching are inextricably linked. My two-plus years of hands-on experience in Waldorf education, along with designing competency-based curriculum workshops for high school teachers, are not only sources of my research inspiration but also the arenas where I translate academic insights into real-world impact.
Outside of research and teaching, I am a Scout leader and have a passion for exploring the world through photography and immersive travel.
