Academic biography

I work as a Professor and Director of CARPE (Centre for Assessment Research, Policy and Practice in Education) at Dublin City University (Ireland) and as the international leader of ERLA (Education, Regulated Learning & Assessment group).

My research focuses on the application of educational psychology to understand self-regulated learning, educational assessment, and their interaction. I examine how formative assessment practices, such as self-assessment, peer assessment, the use of rubrics, and feedback, influence self-regulated learning, self-efficacy, and academic performance. Additionally, I investigate the psychological factors, including interpersonal and social variables, that are associated with these assessment practices.
