Welcome to the Chair of Educational Psychology<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

In our EPIC lab (Educational Psychology for Innovation and Change<\/em><\/strong>), we study how motivation, self-regulation, and feedback foster effective teaching and learning \u2013 and how education can be enhanced through evidence-based, digitally supported, and motivating learning environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

In our research and teaching, we integrate psychological foundations with applied, evidence-based, and interdisciplinary perspectives across school, higher education, and achievement contexts to understand and foster effective learning and instruction processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our research focuses on learning and instruction across various educational contexts. Using experimental, longitudinal, and interdisciplinary approaches, we study how motivation, feedback, and digital learning environments can be designed to effectively foster learning and advance education in evidence-based and sustainable ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
