Le MOOC « La Psychologie pour les enseignants » a suscité avant même sa diffusion un très fort engouement de la part de la communauté des enseignants, pédagogues, et formateurs en France. Les contenus riches proposés par ce cours en ligne (MOOC) sont suivis par des centaines de personnes chaque semaine. Sous l’égide de l’ENS et du Réseau Canopé, le MOOC aborde en trois grands chapitres, trois clefs de voute des apprentissages : les notions de mémoire, de punition/récompense et de motivation en milieu scolaire. Avec autant d’informations désormais en accès libre sur les bonnes pratiques d’enseignement, plus question d’ignorer l’architecture cognitive des élèves ou de se laisser submerger par un comportement perturbateur en classe.

Full article is available in French, on Cortecs website.

The official resource page of the Profan research programme has finally been released!

Indeed, during my PhD, I had the opportunity to participate in the ProFan project, a large experimental research programme in psychology and education. This project was funded by two French ministries (MENJS and MESRI) and investigated the impact of alternative learning methods on development of social skills and academic performance among vocational students. Of particular interest for my PhD was whether cognitive factors (i.e. working memory capacity) and psychosocial factors (i.e., self-esteem, achievement goals) were likely to play a role during resource-dependent cooperation.

A full summary of my work and a video recording of my PhD defence are now available (in French) on the e-fran platform.

A month ago, the team and I were happy to welcome Rozelin Vurgun for her internship in the Moral and Social Brain lab! Rozelin is doing her Master at Kadir Has University (Turkey) and is currently doing an Erasmus internship as part of her training. In our lab, she is using EEG to measure moral conflict under social presence (so much time spent in the UGent basement :’) and in parallel is preparing a new study on surveillance effects (stay tuned for the results!).

PS. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you are interested in an internship in our team :)

A few days ago, my friend Yulong Huang, PhD at UGent came to me with this idea: What if we organised a scientific and social event in our department to share thoughts, results and ideas about research in social cognition ? 1, 2, 3, on Monday the invitation letter was sent to the department!
