Sue Ramlo

I graduated from Miami University  with an MS in physics in 1986.  This fall I gained a joint appointment in the College of Education at the University of Akron.  I have been involved with Physics Education Research (PER) since 2002 and earned my PhD in Education in 2003.  I have been at The University of Akron since fall 1994, primarily teaching the first two semesters of algebra-based physics, a software applications class, and a computer programming class for engineering technology majors.  I have been recognized for teaching excellence at the department, college, university, regional, state, and national level.  I am active in educational research (including Physics Education Research) with current interests in the areas of the learning of physics concepts, program assessment, epistemology, Q methodology, and evaluation of professional development opportunities.  I received international recognition as a Q methodologist with current positions the Editorial Boards of both international Q methodology journals and currently holding the position of Vice President of the International Society for the Scientific Study of Subjectivity (the international Q methodology organization).
