About – Keep IT Simple!

I’m an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg.

I’ve earned a PhD in Psychological and Educational Sciences at the Free University of Brussels, Belgium in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Dr Axel Cleeremans.

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 research interests are related to Educational Technology and Learning Sciences. 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.

I have mainly been teaching in the Bachelor in Educational Sciences since 2005, as a senior lecturer. Over the years, I have been involved in training future primary school teacher in a variety of domains, mainly Educational Technology, Empirical Research in Education and Learning Sciences, as well as tutoring them during their school-based internships and while working on their bachelor thesis. I have broad experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal has been to help my future teacher students to integrate technology into their future teaching practices in a way that enhances their future pupils’ engagement and learning outcomes.

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.
