Summer School

The Summer School, organised by the KU Leuven University and SEFI will take place from 2nd until 6th May 2022 and provides an opportunity for PhD students engaged in engineering and science education research to learn from experts and their peers. Students will participate in workshops led by experts, centered around aspects of research in engineering and science education research.

• Introduction: What makes engineering education research so special? 
  • Journals, reference papers, ontology, epistemology, research groups in Europe.
    Kristina Edström (KTH Sweden) and Bill Williams (Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon and TU Dublin)
• Quantitative Research Methods Data collection
  • Data collection (surveys, experiments, etc) and data analysis (statistical analysis, quantifying subjective data, common flaws, etc.)
    An Carbonez (KU Leuven, Belgium) and Geert Molenberghs (KU Leuven, Belgium)

• Mixed Methods
  • An emergent methodology of research that advances the systematic integration of quantitative and qualitative data within a single investigation.
