Alison A. Carr-Chellman
Dr. Alison Carr-Chellman (Ph.D) is an instructional designer and author.[1]
Personal Life:
Alison A. Carr-Chellman worked as a former third-grade teacher in the elementary school system. She realized the traditional elementary school classrooms did not facilitate some students and worked to their disadvantage. She saw the traditional system as lacking innovation and therefore being unable to change.[1] She is now an instructional designer, author, and educator. Her interest is now in change and innovation within schools to make the system work better. She teaches at Pennsylvania State University in the Learning and Performance Systems Department, where she works with doctoral-level students. Carr-Chellman now teaches with a focus on assisting practicing teachers to learn how to improve their own instructional design practices and how to improve their classrooms. She is now married and lives on a family-owned farm[2] with her children, her husband, and her in-laws.[3] She has twin sons and a daughter.[4]
Education and academic career:
Alison Carr-Chellman obtained her elementary education at Ohio State University for Elementary Education. She worked at this institution for some time, before attending Syracuse University, where she pursued a master's degree in Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation. She completed her Doctorate at Indiana University in Bloomington. Her graduate studies focused on Educational Systems Design and was completed under the direction of Charles Reigeluth. Carr-Chellman has also worked in private industry for McDonnell Douglas in Denver, Colorado, where she designed jet fighter pilot training for the Navy.[5]
Research Interests:
Alison Carr-Chellman's work is focused around instructional design and instructional design theory. She has written extensively on the subject.[6] Carr-Chellman's interest has led her to become more interested in the place of boys in the education system.[7] Her explanation of the gender gap in the education system is that it is a gender-culture problem.[8] Carr-Chellman sees a mismatch between the school culture and boy culture.[2] She has become more interested in the education gap that has been identified between males and females globally. In her work, she has identified three reasons why boys are falling out of the education system. She has also provided recommendations to re-engage them using non-traditional methods such as the use of video games.[9] She has been addressing the larger system and has been making recommendations on how to make changes and how to sustain these changes.[4] Her work also has a direct focus on how to address the deficiencies which the system imposes on some groups, and more specifically on boys. Among her other interests in which she has written extensively is distance education[10] and distance education technologies.
