Dr N. Janssen (Noortje)

Noortje Janssen (1987) studied educational sciences at Utrecht University, and graduated in 2011. For her master’s thesis she examined the split attention effect in computer based tests through eye tracking. In June 2017, Noortje finished her PhD project at the University of Twente, which revolved around support for teachers’ integration of technology in lesson planning. Based on the Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework different types of support were developed and compared on usefulness and effectiveness.

In 2015 till 2018 Noortje was involved in the NWO project ‘TALENTdevelopment’ together with Ard Lazonder, Amber Walraven, Hannie Gijlers, and the primary education school Het Talent. During this project, Noortje guided two teacher teams who conducted research into their own practice and used this experience to develop the teacher guidance model. A model designed to support primary school teachers’ development of research skills and inquiry stance.

Noortje currently works as teacher at the Radboud University in Nijmegen and combines this with her employment at the HAN Pabo.
