What is my role within CATALPA?

As a doctoral researcher in social psychology, I work in the junior research group Stereotype Threat and in the DFG-project MULTIDIVERSE-CSCL. My research focuses on explanations of the underlying psychological processes of microdynamics in diverse virtual study groups. The aim is to investigate the consequences of stereotypes in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). We will further develop measures to support the collaboration in hetereogeneous CSCL groups.

Why CATALPA?

Where better to conduct research on diversity aspects in connection with CSCL than at an interdisciplinary research cluster that thrives on exchange and networking? My aim is to contribute to optimizing digital learning environments for learners.
