Expertise
My research expertise focuses on teamwork and collaborative learning, flow, educational technology, and learning analytics. Within the domain of teamwork and collaborative learning, I focus in particular on collaborative problem solving, computer-supported collaborative learning, and the dynamics that support or hinder collaboration in teams. More specifically, I study topics such as scripting, team composition, and group processes. A second central line of research concerns flow, with specific attention to individual flow and team flow. I examine how optimal experiences emerge in learning and work contexts, and how these experiences are related to individual characteristics and team processes. In addition, my work focuses on educational technology and learning analytics, including AI in education, AI-supported learning environments, and technologies that support teachers, students, or teams during learning and collaboration processes. A key question guiding this research is how technology can be used in ways that are pedagogically meaningful, transparent, and responsible. In this context, I use survey data, verbal interaction data, audio and video analysis, eye-tracking, and other multimodal data sources to better understand learning and collaboration processes. Methodologically, I combine quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches, including observational research, content analysis, instrument development, validation studies, systematic literature reviews, and meta-analyses.
