Dr. Reardon’s research interests include informal learning among skilled workers in chemical manufacturing and petrochemicals, STEM education in K-16, and the relationships among dimensions of spirituality and leadership. He has a strong background in quantitative research methods, particularly survey research, factor analysis, multivariate regression and path analysis.

Current studies include a comparison of learning among skilled refinery operators against current theoretical frameworks of adult learning and an ongoing investigation with peers of the concept of grace as construct in interpersonal relationships.
