Kylie Peppler

Associate Professor of Informatics & Education
Director of The Creativity Labs
University of California, Irvine

An artist by training, Dr. Peppler is an associate professor of Informatics & Education at University of California, Irvine who engages in research that focuses on the intersection of arts, computational technologies and interest-driven learning. She holds a Ph.D. in Urban Schooling from UCLA, where she was part of the NSF-sponsored team that designed and studied the Scratch platform, which garnered her a Dissertation Research Award from the Spencer Foundation. After serving as a UC Presidential Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Irvine, Dr. Peppler joined the Learning Sciences faculty at Indiana University-Bloomington in 2008. Upon joining the UC Irvine faculty in 2018, Dr. Peppler brought her research group, the Creativity Labs, to be a part of UCI’s Connected Learning Lab, where she brings together educators, designers, artists, and learning theorists interested in supporting learning by leveraging youths' interests in digital culture, design, and making.

Dr. Peppler earned an NSF early CAREER award for her work on how e-textiles and other computational construction kits popularized through the Maker movement can deepen learning and broaden participation across a range of STEM fields. Dr. Peppler’s studies have been published in leading journals in the fields of education, technology and the arts, including Science Education; Computers & Human Behavior; Mind, Culture & Activity; British Journal of Educational Technology; Journal of Science and Educational Technology; Studies in Arts Education; Review of Research in Education; Teachers College Record; and Learning, Media & Technology, among many others. Additionally, Dr. Peppler is the author or editor of over 10 books published by a range of outlets, including MIT Press, Peter Lang, Routledge, SAGE Publications, and Teachers College Press.

Through this work, Dr. Peppler has received several awards, including the Mira Tech Educator of the Year, Indiana Governor's Award for Tomorrow’s Leaders, Special Interest Group for Computers in Education (SIGCE) Top 10 Papers of All Time, Outstanding Junior Faculty Award from Indiana University, and Outstanding Alumni Early Career Award from Psychological and Brain Studies at Indiana University. Her work has been consistently supported by the National Science Foundation as well as a range of foundations, federal and industry partners, including the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, the Wallace Foundation, Google.org, Wellcome Trust, US Department of Education, Boeing, Indiana Department of Education, New York Community Trust, Chicago Community Trust, Best Buy, Fossil Foundation, GAP Inc., National Geographic, as well as the Center for Craft, Creativity, and Design.

Dr. Peppler sits on the Editorial Boards for the International Journal for Computer Supported Collaborative Learning and Computer Science Education and has recently served as Guest Editor for the British Journal of Educational Technology and Sustainability. Dr. Peppler was also the lead editor of the two-volume SAGE Encyclopedia of Out-of-School Learning.

ReCrafting Mathematics Education

Co-PIs: Kylie Peppler and Melissa Gresalfi

The ReCrafting Mathematics Education (RCM) project highlights new ways to engage students and educators in mathematical thinking through hands-on crafts, an approach that leverages new tangible manipulatives as objects-to-think-with in mathematics education. Our primary focus is on traditional crafts like textile, fiber, and needlework as we believe this research will lead to crucial advancements needed in math education.

Many of today’s tangible manipulatives (typically found in early childhood and early elementary) are rooted in blocks and other objects that children snap, construct, or otherwise build with to get a sense of shape, volume, or quantity, including cuisenaire rods, tangrams, Legos, and so forth.

But these materials support early understanding of mathematics and are less able to support engagement in more advanced mathematics. Therefore we have chosen to purposefully target traditional textiles, fiber, and needlework crafts to address this twofold gap in tangible manipulatives to (a) have new materials rooted in traditional women’s practices (and coded as “feminine”), as well as (b) have high utility in advanced mathematics. There is significant evidence that crafting practices can offer deep insight into mathematical ideas; as an example, in the early nineteenth century mathematicians became aware of another space called the hyperbolic plane. Although the properties of this space were known for 200 years, it was only in 1997 that Cornell mathematician Daina Taimina worked out how to make physical models of it, using crochet (Wertheim, 2005).

The importance of hands-on, interest-driven learning and the value of community and sense-of-belonging are often overlooked in the creation of new learning environments. In addition, math instruction suffers from an over-reliance on abstract and hypothetical problem solving that does not connect the mathematical concepts to meaningful, real-world relevance. One of the reasons the ReCrafting Mathematics Education project was started was to explore the many possible connections between math and craft and to revolutionize mathematics instruction to bring interest-driven learning to the curriculum.
