Scott McNabb's research interests center around contemporary educational reforms in the United States and Thailand. Dr. McNabb's interest in Thailand began with his Peace Corps service at Thammasat University (1968-71) and has developed through multiple research and consulting visits, including a Fulbright year with his family in Chiangmai (1990-91). Dr. McNabb's most recent trip to Thailand was taken in October, 1999 to attend an economics conference and visit Burapha University.

On the U.S. side, McNabb has been active in the Iowa Association for Alternative Education for many years, serves on the state board of the IAAE, and has conducted research studies on teachers and students in Iowa's small alternative schools. His current research involves the development of alternative assessment measure to accurately reflect the social and academic gains of at-risk students. McNabb also coordinates the Human Relations Program in the College of Education, which involves supervising and mentoring seven graduate students teaching assistants each term. This course, which explores multicultural topics, is a state-mandated course for all teacher education students.
