Dr. Carolien Knoop-van Campen is an assistant professor at the Behavioural Science Institute and Pedagogical Sciences and Educational Sciences program of Radboud University (RU), The Netherlands.
Her research areas are multimedia learning, dyslexia, reading strategies, adaptive learning technologies, teacher dashboards, and self-regulation. Her research focuses on the questions ‘How do children and adolescents learn’ and ‘How can we improve their learning’.
Carolien obtained her Bachelor in Pedagogy at the Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen, and her Bachelor in Pedagogical and Educational Sciences at the RU. To pursue both her interest in research and her ambition to be practically relevant, she first completed the two-year Research Master’s degree in Behavioral Science (RU) and then obtained her diagnostic qualification as a child psychologist (orthopedagoog).
In 2022 she defended her dissertation 'Multimedia Learning and Dyslexia' supervised by prof. Eliane Segers and prof. Ludo Verhoeven at the Behavioural Science Institute (RU). In her dissertation, Carolien investigated the extent to which audio support affected learning processes and learning outcomes in children and adults with dyslexia.
In addition to her PhD research, Carolien worked at the Adaptive Learning Lab (ALL, RU) from 2014 onwards, collaborating with Prof. Inge Molenaar on research into adaptive learning environments and dashboards. She was also involved as a postdoc in Prof. Evelyn Kroesbergen's project “Tussen wal en schip” on twice-exceptional students.
Carolien is a co-supervisor on various PhD-projects and collaborates with Dr Ellen Kok (UU) on research into the application of eye tracking in reading.
