Roger Azevedo
Roger Azevedo joined NC State in August 2013 as a Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program cluster hire in the Digital Transformation of Education. Azevedo, a professor in the Department of Psychology in the area of human factors and ergonomics, examines the role of cognitive, metacognitive, affective and motivational self-regulatory processes during learning with computer-based learning environments. He focuses on understanding complex interactions between humans and intelligent learning systems by using interdisciplinary methods to measure cognitive, metacognitive, emotional and motivational processes and their impact on learning and transfer. To accomplish this goal, he conducts laboratory, classroom, and in-situ (e.g., medical simulator) studies and collects multi-channel data to develop models of human-computer interaction; examines the nature of temporally unfolding self- and other-regulatory processes (e.g., human-human and human-artificial agents); and designs intelligent learning and training systems to detect, track, model and foster learners’, teachers’ and trainers’ self-regulatory processes.

Karen R. Harris and Steve Graham
Karen R. Harris is the Warner Professor of Education at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College (a chair she shares with Steve Graham). She has worked in education for over 40 years, initially as a general education teacher and then as a special education teacher. Harris has chosen to work throughout her teaching and research career in highly diverse schools in low-income areas due to her commitment to improving teaching and learning for all students. She is interested in validating instructional approaches for heterogeneous classrooms derived from integrating multiple, evidence-based theories and practices. Harris developed the evidence-based Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) model of strategies instruction. SRSD has been most extensively researched in the area of writing, although researchers have also addressed reading, math, and homework.
Steve Graham is the Warner Professor of Education at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College (a chair he shares with Karen R. Harris). For over 30 years he has studied how writing develops, how to teach it effectively, and how writing can be used to support reading and learning. In recent years, he has been involved in the development and testing of digital tools for supporting writing and reading through a series of grants from the Institute of Educational Sciences and the Office of Special Education Programs in the U.S. Department of Education. His research involves typically developing writers and students with special needs in both elementary and secondary schools, with much of occurring in classrooms in urban schools.

Barry J. Zimmerman
Barry Zimmerman, a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Educational Psychology and Head of Learning, Development, and Instruction at the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York, has conducted extensive research and written more than 100 articles and professional papers on how people regulate their attitudes and behaviors, with an emphasis on learning situations. In 2011, Zimmerman was awarded the E.L. Thorndike Career Achievement award by the American Psychological Association’s Division of Educational Psychology.
Zimmerman’s work is guided by the realities of students’ academic development, and has demonstrated that the greatest academic success occurs when students and teachers use a metacognitive model to guide learning and instruction, or one that entails planning, evaluation, and adjustment of thoughts and actions. Zimmerman is a pioneer of self-regulated learning (SRL) theory, which details the workings of such processes.
