What can schools, teachers and learners learn from implicit learning research?

Here is the slideshow of my oral presentation “What can schools, teachers and learners learn from implicit learning research?”, that I just gave at the Fourth scientific symposium of the Association for Research in Neuroeducation, at the Université de Caen, in Caen, Basse-Normandie, France. http://www.slideshare.net/rreuter/reuter-arn20140527

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching. 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.
