Educational pedagogy, teacher-student interactions and relationships; self-efficacy; self-regulation
My research examines the impact of affective relationships between teachers and individual students with diverse backgrounds, behaviors, and learning needs on effective education. I focus on the influence of these relationships on motivation, academic performance, and self-regulation skills. Additionally, I provide tools and professional development interventions to teachers experiencing difficulties in their relationships with specific students (see relationshipresearch-uva.uk).
