Research Interests
My research focuses on learning behaviours and learning environments, with an emphasis on how students engage with and regulate their learning. I am particularly interested in factors that support effective learning, including motivation, self-regulation, and the use of learning strategies. I have a growing interest in executive function development and its impact on learning, as well as how students develop and apply effective learning strategies across diverse educational contexts and among diverse learners, including those with varying learning needs and disabilities.
