Andrew F. Heckler studies how students learn and reason in introductory physics, focusing on topics such as problem-solving strategies, grading and assessment patterns, and demographic disparities in course outcomes. His work combines cognitive science approaches (e.g., response times, reasoning patterns) with classroom data (grades, assignment behavior) to understand and improve physics education. This research is aimed at improving teaching practices and identifying equity issues in physics and related STEM courses.
Publication output was higher and more variable around 2017-2020 (7-10 per year) but has slowed to a steadier, lower pace of about 2 per year from 2021 onward.
