Project AoW: Becoming a Wikipedian – Day 1

Today, I decided to install the following pro-active routine for my contribution to Project AoW:

Once a week, let’s say every Wednesday morning during my commute to Walferdange, I look up a concept on Wikipedia that is on my mind that morning (for whatever reason), and check if an entry exists.

If I don’t find an entry, then I will blog about it here and try to argue why it would be beneficial to have an entry about that concept on Wikipedia. Eventually, if I convince myself or you do, I will then start an article about that concept…

If there is an entry, then I will check if all the presented information is correct, to my best knowledge, and eventually I will edit the article… and blog about it here…

About me

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching sciences. My PhD thesis was in cognitive psychology, focusing on implicit learning processes. I have always been interested in the integration of ICT in education, especially the strategic use of technology in teaching. With the advent of the digital revolution, I became interested in exploring the socio-cultural changes in learning caused by the use of digital technologies.

My current research focuses on the subjective theories of learning held by teachers and how these influence their use of ICT in the classroom. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that enable or hinder the use of ICT in teaching, and how these factors can be addressed.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as a teacher trainer in the field of educational technologies. I have experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching practice in a way that enhances student learning and engagement.
