Dr. Lisette Wijnia is an associate professor at the Open Universiteit. One of the subjects she investigates is the effectiveness of student-centered learning environments, such as problem-based and project-based education on the motivation and self-regulated learning skills of pupils and students. Furthermore, she conducts research on motivation, self-regulated learning and metacognition (especially accuracy of self-assessments) in other learning contexts. |
 |
Dr. Joyce Neroni is a postdoctoral researcher at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the SELFLEX project on self-regulated learning in flexible learning environments. Her previous research project focused on the effect of student-centered learning environments on self-regulated learning skills, which will be presented during today’s symposium. |
 |
Samantha Vos, is a PhD student at the Open Universiteit. In her PhD project, she conducts research on the relationship between self-regulated learning, motivation to learn and student well-being. She is developing an empirical framework on this so that study success and lifelong learning qualities can be increased. |
 |
Marloes Broeren, is an external PhD candidate at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, and a senior researcher of the research group (lectoraat) ‘Brein en Leren’ at Avans University of Applied Sciences in Breda. In her PhD project, she focuses on how to support students in using effective learning strategies and what role motivation plays. |
 |
Dr. Felicitas Biwer is an assistant professor and educational psychologist, and she works in teacher professionalization at Maastricht University and School of Health Professions Education. Her research interests are in self-regulated learning and regulation of effort during learning. In her doctoral research, she examined the effects of the Study Smart program, a learning strategy training program for first-year students, on students' knowledge and use of effective learning strategies. |
 |
Dr. Martine Baars is an associate professor at the Behavioural Science Institute and at the department of Orthopedagogics: Learning and Development at the Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen. Her research concerns instructional strategies to improve self-monitoring and self-regulation of learning in primary, secondary and higher education. The role of technology and how it can enhance (self-regulated) learning is part of her research interests. |
 |
Prof. dr. Anique de Bruin is a full professor of Self-Regulation in Higher Education and vice president of the School of Health Professions Education at Maastricht University. Her research aims to better understand how self-regulation skills of students and professionals (in training) can be supported so that their knowledge, skills, and competencies develop optimally. She translates her research into practice, including through the learning strategy training Study Smart that has been successfully implemented in higher education in the Netherlands and abroad. |
